Design Construction and Efficiency of press equipment Mushroom cube

Abstract

This research aims to design, build and efficiency of press machine mushroom cube can press machine mushroom with a density equal to the cube equal to 0.8 g / cm3 weight      950 g  diameter 10 cm high 15 cm, which is packed in a plastic bag in the folded width 9 cm high 31 cm.       Overall, the press machine mushroom cube. Designed with an emphasis on energy efficiency. Is available at no electricity and can exercise. The press machine mushroom cube that create height 120 cm, wide 100 cm, long 130 cm. Working principle relies on the spin of the wheel bicycles to send to the shaft at both ends of the shaft equipped with a rotor diameter of 30 cm and straight. Intermediate shaft sprockets mounted with a diameter of 9 cm and cycling make the rotating shaft, which makes extruded rods, which are attached at the two ends of the shaft moves into press machine. Blog diameter 10.5 cm, high 20 cm by the compression depth 8 cm and can be pressed at the same time, two blocks and the speed of change has increased the bag mushroom cube block for mushrooms are two side-by-block. Efficiency of press machine mushroom cube found that machine use to compress the number three times per pack . When comparing the performance of the machine with the labor force, it was found that the compression of 3 laborers in one minute could compress 120 grams of mushrooms, which accounted for 40 persons per minute. The average of 10 bubbles per minute indicates that the mushroom compressor can effectively compress mushroom than the workers from the 4 times.
