| dc.description.abstract | Radish is a commodity of grassy vegetables with high nutritional content and quite a lot of benefits. One of the things that become a constraint in slicing is the capacity and the resulting slices are still not good. The purposes of this study were to modify, test out the effect and obtain the most precise range of knife blades on the radish bulbs. The study used a method of design experimentation on a complete random design (RAL) non-factorial with a single factor knife distance on disk (P I = 1 mm, P II = 2 mm, P III = 3 mm), each test repeated up to five times. The parameters in this study are the effective capacity of the tool, the percentage of material left on the tool, the percentage of material that is not perfectly sliced and the uniformity of the thickness of the slices. The results showed that the blade distance had a significant effect on the parameters. A blade distance of 3 mm (P III) is the best blade distance with an effective tool capacity of 72,072 kg/hour, the percentage of material left in the tool is 21,16% and the percentage of material not perfectly sliced is 4,28%. | en_US |
