RANCANG BANGUN MESIN PENGOLAHAN BUAH MARKISA MENJADI SARI DAN SIRUP MARKISA

Abstract

Separation of seeds with fruit juice is done in a blender, the results of which are still mixed between the seedsand the juice and the seeds are crushed so they must be filtered again after being bended. Whereas for cooking andstirring the fruit juice is still done traditionally, so the cooking temperature cannot be controlled and the stirring resultsare not evenly mixed. Tonasa Village, Tombolopao District, Gowa Regency is a potential area for passion fruitcultivation because the environment is relatively suitable. The superiority of the region is one of the considerations forthe selection of the region as the object / target of the research on making Passion Fruit Syrup. The purpose of this studywas to design and make passion fruit processing machines into syrup, so that the capacity and quality of production ofpassion fruit syrups increased. The implementation phase of the research begins with designing tools, making tools andtesting tools. Mixing machine and passion fruit fruit juice produced are 600 mm long x 450 mm x height 1250 mm,motor power 686 Watts or 1 HP and cutting shaft diameter 2.5 cm, and production capacity of 40 liters / 20 minutes.
