Rekayasa Mesin Pencacah dan Pembenam untuk Budidaya Tanaman Tebu (Design of Chopper for Cutting up Sugarcane Offal)
Abstract
A prototype of chopper for cutting up sugar cane offal has been designed and constructed. The machine was designed for gathering the sugar cane offal that was piled up on the field, conveying it to the feeder and chopping it into short pieces. The machine consisted of: a gathering cylinder, a conveying unit, two pairs of feeding cylinders, a reel type chopping cylinder, a main frame and wheels. The prototype has been tested and showed a good functional performance. In a stationary working test, the gathering unit and the feeding unit could work properly. The chopping unit could cut stems of sugar cane tip into 2-3 cm length of pieces. However, the dry leaf of sugar cane could not be chopped well. The working capacity of the machine was 400-500 kg/hour.
