Study of the Use of the MPS-083 Combination Coconut Grating and Coconut Milk Pressing Machine in Tolombukan Satu Vilage, Pasan Disrict, Southeast Minahasa Regency

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the grating capacity using a grenade model and a cylinder model and then calculate the yield of coconut milk produced during the pressing process. This research uses and observational method, then observes and calculates working time, tool speed, grating capacity, coconut milk yield, fuel consumption, RPM comparison calculations, the data taken is then presented in tabular form. Research result the working capacity of the coconut grater and coconut milk squeezer machine using the cylinder model is higher with an average working capacity of 0.52 hours, The grating capacity of the grenade model is lower when using the average of 15.89kg/hour, compared to the average rotation speed ot the cylinder model of 1310.67, producing an average of 43.38kg/hour. Coconut milk yield is better if using the cylinder model with a flat- the average pulley rotation speed of 1343.67 rpm, which is 43.38%. To further increase work capacity, it is necessary to carry out further research on coconut production in producing coconut milk and economic analysis.
