Abstract: Cassava is
an important source
of food calories
as well as
source of other
products in Indonesia. Utilization and
processing potential of
cassava are widely
diverse. One of processed
commodity of cassava
is crispy chips.
In crispy chips
production, there need
an efficiently and a good copper. The aim of this research is to design
a cassava chopper powered by electrical motor and equipped with horizontal
blade. Furthermore, this study aimed to identify the performance of designed
chopper. The result of the design step is a chopper that has well functionally. The
designed chopper has
four parts; frame,
transmission, hopper and
cutter blade. It is powered by 0,25 kW electric motor and equipped with
rotation speed control. In the design of the chopper with a horizontal blade,
the cutting blades are not spinning stationary but changed into
backward and forward
movement. The highest
specific energy as
a result of performance identification is 42.50 Joules
/kg. The highest working capacity is 62.550 kg / h occurs in motor rotation of
170 rpm.
