Design of Mechanical Cassava Towering Equipment: Achieving Efficiency in Cassava Processing

Introduction

The processing of agricultural products into food is a fascinating field of study, with many agricultural products being processed to have a higher economic value. One of the common processing processes is solubility, which involves breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones. In this study, we aim to design, build, and test mechanical cassava tools that can efficiently process cassava into a higher-value product. This study was conducted in June to September 2010 at the Agricultural Engineering Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra, Medan, through literature studies, experiments, observations, and testing of tools.

Background

Cassava is a staple crop in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical regions. It is a rich source of carbohydrates, fiber, and other essential nutrients. However, the processing of cassava into a higher-value product is often a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Traditional methods of processing cassava involve manual labor, which can lead to inefficiencies and reduced productivity. Therefore, there is a need for innovative solutions that can improve the efficiency and quality of cassava processing.

Design and Development of Mechanical Cassava Tools

The design and development of mechanical cassava tools involved several stages, including literature studies, experiments, and testing of tools. The observed parameters included the effective capacity and the percentage of unplocked material. The results showed that the effective capacity of this mechanical cassava grant reached 36.74 kg/hour with 5.33% of unpolved materials.
