KAJIAN PENGERINGAN LATEKS DENGAN UNIT PENGERING BERTENAGA LISTRIK PADA PENGOLAHAN KARET (Heven brassiliensis)
Abstract: This study was
purposed to design and construct a prototype electric-powered dryer unit for
drying of Rubber Smoked Sheet (RSS). The performance of designated dryer was
examined in terms of drying conditioning and the quality of RSS and then
compared to original curing process based on the sheet quality and pace of
drying. The results showed that the dryer was capable to produce the standard
quality of RSS, as indicated by the absences of bubbles, product defects and
impurities. The prototype of drying unit could reduce also the weight of RSS or
latex rubber in average of about 36% of the initial weight for about 48 hours
at temperature range between 56 and 76°C.
