Perencanaan Heater pada Mesin Pencetak Briket Tempurung Kelapa

Abstract

The obstacles to increase production that uses solar heat such as weather changes in Indonesia today can be said to be unstable. The existence of these uncertain weather changes can disrupt the activities of the producers so they can not to optimize the production capacity. Coconut shell briquettes are a substitute for fuel, which in the production process is not directly printed in dry conditions so it needs a drying process. The design of this coconut shell dryer uses LPG gas as a fuel source and blower to apply air pressure to the briquette material. Planning of coconut shell briquette dryer is using 364946,7 W and capacity 1,808 Kg/50 / minute which produce 226 pieces of coconut shell briquettes with size 3,1 cm x 2,6 cm x 1,2 cm.
