Rancang Bangun Alat Pencetak Kompos Bentuk Pelet

Abstract

The great number of chemical fertilizer on crops can cause environmental impacts, such as damage to soil structure. Organic materials in compost can replace the role of chemical fertilizers and can improve the conditions of chemical and biological soil. For institutions and make the compost plant on the compost need to be made in the form of pellets. Disposal of nutrients in the compost pellet longer so do not need fertilization repeated. Compost forms of pellets formed by using engine printer pellet form of compost. Goal of this research is to design and make devices compost form of pellets. Compost forms of pellets formed with the system of emphasis. Capacity equipment obtained from the research is 32,78 kg/hour, with a the percentage of compost form of pellets that are not formed by 12,4 %.
