PENGGUNAAN ENERGI BAHAN BAKAR UNTUK PENGERINGAN KAN ASIN/KEUMAMAH
Abstract: This research
carried out to
develop drying technology
across Nangroe Aceh Darussalam, and
find the alternative
energy source for
the drying machine.
In NAD province, fishery
products were the
manly commodity that
could accommodate 58.309 of family labor or fund of 291.545 people. The
problem of Aceh fisherman and most other developing countries worldwide is due largely to the inability to
preserve fish surpluses, and fluctuation of fish’s price. Drying and heating
processes were employed for temporary
preservation of fishery product, so
that it can
be stored for
future use, hence
increases economics and
support national export. Drying Machine using in this study was a
cabinet dryer, consist of burner room, hot air dealer duct, flow changer,
velocity rectifier and early flow director. This machine was tested using three
fuel source which iskerosene, gas and wood with drying capacity 60 kg. The
experiment results show that needed of drying time by fresh fish product to
become ikan kayu by using this three fuel types is same, about 8 hours. The
lowest water rate of ikan kayu by using gas fuel were 1,45 %, and by using wood
fuel which is12,75%.
The highest drying
speed was achieved
for drying process by using wood fuel (1,80 %) and the lower speed by
using gas fuel (1,62 %). Production capacity of ikan kayu produce by using these three kind of fuel were same
about 2,5 kg/hours. Drying temperature was around 90oC for all kinds
of fuel.
