Analisa Chip Quality After Chip Pocket Berdasarkan Jenis Kayu Acacia Mangium, Acacia Crassicarpa Dan Eucalyptus
ABSTRACT
Chip quality is very important as it affects the next stages of production. Chip quality includes parameters such as accept, reject, overthick, pin fraction, fines, and chip length. This study analyzed the effect of different wood species on chip quality, specifically Acacia mangium, Acacia crassicarpa, and Eucalyptus. This study was conducted by analyzing secondary data in 8 days at chipper 1 in January and February, where the data used comes from internal company data that can be accessed through the process engineer (PE). The results showed that Eucalyptus had the best performance with the highest accept rate (87.67%) and the lowest reject rate (6.96%) due to its smooth and straight fiber structure. Acacia mangium also performed well with an accept rate of 84.47%, though the reject rate was slightly above the standard. Acacia crassicarpa had the lowest quality (accept 80.03%; reject 16.17%) due to its hard and non-uniform wood structure. All wood species produced fines and chip lengths within acceptable limits, although wood characteristics greatly influenced the chipping results. Overall, the type and condition of wood significantly affect chip quality in the chipping process.
