ABSTRACT The ripple mill mechine is a tool for breaking and separating palm kernels from their shells, in this mechine there is a rotor part that rotates on the ripple plate, the stationary part, the seeds enter between the rotor and the ripple plate so that they collide and break the shell from the core. The risk that is often experienced by the ripple mill machine is the occurrence of fallin…
ABSTRACT Pipes for electrical and telecommunication cable networks made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) composite materials reinforced with fiberglass in Pekanbaru are generally installed close to highways, some are on the ground surface, underground, or in water passing through the Siak River or other rivers. Pipes that are on the ground surface will get quite high heat intensity during t…
ABSTRACT This research aims to identify and calculate digester machine performance at PTPN V Sei Tapung based on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) values and analyze damage to digester machine components using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a method of measuring the overall effectiveness of a production machine which involves me…
ABSTRACT This research aims to develop a roundness measuring instrument by adding a centering aid to the Roundness Tester Machine. Accurate roundness is crucial for ensuring product quality, especially in machine components. This study analyzes the effect of using the centering aid on the roundness measurement results of aluminum shafts. The testing method employed is the ring method, with mea…
ABSTRACT This research presents the performance testing of the cooling system on an unmanned ship prototype using a Zenoah engine type G32FC. This research aims to see the impact produced when using a radiator cooling system on engine performance and ship performance. The experiment was conducted using a platform supply vessel (PSV) prototype with a monohull design, measuring 120 cm in length …
ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the roundness of shafts using a Roundness Tester Machine with the assistance of MATLAB to improve measurement efficiency and accuracy. Measurements were performed on a test specimen in the form of an aluminum shaft with a length of 200 mm and a diameter of 24 mm, with data collected at 36 points at 10° intervals. Data were automatically gathered using a dig…
ABSTRACT Monohull-type Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) play a crucial role in supporting offshore operational activities. Although the monohull hull design provides structural efficiency, these vessels are prone to stability issues and hydrodynamic resistance under dynamic conditions. Therefore, additional components such as turn fins and trim tabs are required to enhance vessel performance. Th…
ABSTRACT Thresher machine is a tool that serves to separate the fruit from the bunch by slamming the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) with the help of rotation on the thresher drum. This tool is in the form of a rotating drum with a speed of ± 22-25 rpm. The thresher drum is 2 meters in diameter and 4 meters long. The process to produce crude palm oil can be said to not be able to take place optimally…
