Rancang Bangun Mesin Pelet Apung Skala Peternak Kecil

Abstract

The problem faced by fishpond business groups is the high price of fish feed, the high demand for feed is not accompanied by the price of fish. This caused the fishpond business which was managed to suffer losses in terms of energy and time. Most of the fishpond entrepreneurs did not know yet how to make fish pellets in a mandate. This was due to the high price of fish pellet machines that were on the market fish pellet. And The purpose of this final project is to design a pellet type extruder printing machine. In this redesign it uses 4101 Kw motor power with 1440 rpm rotation, while the motor drive shaft axis diameter 25 m, and the diameter of the 80 mm pellet molding machine.The drive uses one type B type V belt, with a distance between 600 mm shafts. The final result achieved in this final project is an extruder type pellet molding machine with a maximum production capacity of 50 kg/ hour. With a mixture of ingredients such as corn flour, soy flour, starch, fish meal, yeast and water, it is expected that this extruder type printing machine can be utilized by farmers and fish farmers as an appropriate technology to improve the yield of the field of breeding and fisheries so that farmers do not relies again on the supply of feed on the market because they can make their own feed with lower raw material prices.
