MESIN PEMERAS KELAPA PARUT MENJADI SANTAN SISTEM ULIR TEKAN PENGGERAK MOTOR LISTRIK 1 HP
ABSTRACT: The squeezing
process of grated coconut into coconut milk, and the following process of making the milk into coconut oil, which is
done by people living in rural areas, is until now still very traditional. They
do it manually (by hands) so that they produce 7.2 kg/hour grated coconut or
3.6 litres/hour thick coconut milk.
To effectify the process, the squeezing needs to be mechanized, using a
grated coconut squeezer machine. The machine is designed on the basis of Screw
Press system with a ¼ HP 1450 rpm electric motor power using a pulley belt
transmission and a gear box. The squeezer’s force refers to coconuts aging
between 341 and 413 days (hand squeezing force normally practised by coconut
oil producers in rural areas).
This prototype of machine has the capacity of producing 53.2 kg/hour
grated coconut or 26.6 litres/hour thick coconut milk, which has similar
quality (in colour, smell and texture) as that manually squeezed.
