Abstract

Fried onions are one of the processed forms of shallots which in the manufacturing process go through the slicing stage. The slicing stage in the manufacture of fried onions in small industrial businesses is still done manually. The purpose of this study was to get the best treatment or blade distance on the onion slicing machine. This study used a non-factorial complete randomized design. The blade distances used in this study were P1 (1 mm), P2 (2 mm) and P3 (3 mm). The parameters tested are the effective capacity of the tool, the yield, the percentage of materials left in the tool. The results showed the best blade distance at 2 (2 mm) treatment. The results showed that the average effective capacity of the tool was 55.21 kg / hour, the average yield was 97.64%, the average yield of materials left in the tool was 2.57% and the average sliced reciprocity was 1.85 mm
