Design and Building of Peanut Cleaning Machine With 1 Phase Electric Motor Drive Centrifugal System

Abstract

This peanut plant is a plant that is very useful in everyday life because of that this plant is widely cultivated which can later be used to meet human needs. With the development of an increasingly modern era, this also has an impact on people's lives who want everything practical and fast. The process of cleaning peanuts is very difficult and takes a lot of time. To improve the cleaning process so that it is more optimal, which can increase time efficiency and meet health standards, the peanut cleaning machine is made portable so that it can be easily moved which refers to better results than existing machines. The methodology used includes: criteria research, planning, preparation of tools and materials, measurement, material cutting, size checking, assembly, data analysis and conclusions. The main parts of this tool include: frame, washer tube, nylon brush, drive motor. The results of the evaluation of the introduction of a peanut cleaning machine with a centrifugal system driven by a single-phase electric motor show: (a) the operation of the machine is relatively easy, capable of speeding up the washing process and increasing the production capacity of peanuts, (b) improving product performance and hygiene, (c) functionally and the structure of the peanut washer functions optimally.
