Kajian Pengaruh Konfgurasi Mesin Penggilingan terhadap Rendemen dan Susut Giling beberapa Varietas Padi
Abstract: Rice is the staple
food for Indonesian people so that the rice supply will be the barometer for the
national’s food security. In rice production, both of postharvest losses and
low milling yield are still the problems due to lack of postharvest handling.
In this study, the effect of rice milling machine configuration on the milling
yield and quality of some paddy varieties was examined. Paddy variety of
Ciherang, Cibogo and Hybrid were milled using a confguration process of: 1) two
husking and two polishing (2H-2P), 2) one husking, one separating and one
polishing (H-S-P), and 3) one husking, two separating and two polishing (H-2S-2P).
The results show that the paddy varieties signifcanly affect milling yield and
losses. However, rice milling machine confgurations are not signifcantly affect
the milling yield and losses. Paddy variety of Cibogo resulting in the highest
milling yield (67.80 %) compared to Ciherang (62.61 %) and Hibrida (60.78 %).
Paddy variety of Cibogo resulting in the lowest losses (1.41 %) compared to
Ciherang (3.43 %) and Hibrida (3.03 %). The speed of milling process for
confguration of 2H-2P, H-S-P and H-2S-2P were 228.1 kg/hour, 295.6 kg/h and
263.2 kg/hr respectively.
