Sago Extraction Machine Design

Abstract

The production of sago starch in Papua is around 200 thousand tons per year, even though the potential is 4.75 tons of dry starch per year. The large potential for sago starch production cannot be realized optimally due to the low production capacity. The production capacity is doubtful because the sago processing process is still carried out traditionally. The problems encountered can be solved by applying machining technology to the sago production process. The application of technology in the form of production machines will improve the quality of sago starch and production capacity. The production capacity of sago starch can be increased through the application of technology in the production process. Especially the sago pith grating machine technology and sago starch extraction machine technology, because these two processes consume the most time when using traditional methods. The working principle of the sago starch extraction machine that has been made is that the rotation generated by the driving motor is channeled through the pulley transmission and the V-belt drives the gearbox, the rotation of the gearbox output shaft through the pulley transmission and the V-belt drives the stirring shaft. The production capacity of the sago extraction machine is planned to be 80 kg/hour. The design of the sago extraction machine uses wheels to facilitate the mobilization of the machine to the sago plantation area.
