The analysis includes determining the Degrees of Freedom (DOF), position, velocity, and acceleration of the boom, arm, and bucket mechanisms. The results show that the excavator arm mechanism has 3 DOF. In position analysis, the widest range is found at Point H for the boo…
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the effectiveness of Kernel Crushing Plant machines at PT. Wilmar Nabati Dumai using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) method. This study also determines the machine maintenance interval based on Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). The results of the OEE analysis show that the machine effectiveness value is still below the world-clas…
ABSTRACT Vertical motion hydraulic pipe bending equipment or also called edge bending uses the rotary draw bender method, with a hydraulic jack rod pushing and rotating the die so that it pulls the pipe until it bends following the path of the rotating die. This equipment is designed for continuous laboratory scale research. Bent pipes often experience deformation in the form of shrinkage at t…
ABSTRACT Cow's milk contains nutrients that are very useful for the growth of calves, as well as a perfect drink for humans. Milk is a food ingredient that cannot be stored for long in the open air. One method to maintain the quality of milk is by cooling it. The use of a control system in this study aims to maintain the temperature of the milk at a temperature of 4oC. This study aims to deter…
ABSTRACT Fresh milk storage at the right temperature is very important to maintain the quality of milk protein and nutrition and to meet food safety standards such as the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for Raw Milk No. 01-3141-2011. This study aims to design and develop a cooler box that uses thermoelectric cooling technology as an alternative storage device for fresh milk. This cooler box…
ABSTRACT This study investigated the tribological properties of vegetable lubricants formulated using synthetic esters based on palm oil (TMP), graphene nanosheets (0.1%wt), and varying compositions of Span 60 surfactant to optimize dispersion stability, viscosity, and coefficient of friction (COF). The results showed that graphene nanosheets increased viscosity at 40℃ and 100℃, while Span…
ABSTRACT Indonesia as a maritime country with vast marine potential, has constraints, especially on wooden ships, such as considerable maintenance and limited wood raw materials. Therefore, combining sisal fiber and glass fiber through a hybrid method is an environmentally friendly alternative. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in the volume fraction of sisal fibers and glass…
ABSTRACT Most of Indonesia's territory is water, so sea transportation plays an important role in people's lives. This transportation is a ship. Ships function as a service for transporting goods and passengers. In addition, ships are also often used in industry, mining and trade. This has resulted in increasing ship production every year. Along with the increase in ship production, the need f…
ABSTRAC ABSTRACABSTRAC T This study aims to evaluate the oxidation stability and tribological characteristics of palm oil-based Trimethylolpropane (TMP) synthetic ester (Palm Methyl Ester (PME)) as a bio-lubricant. The synthesis process was carried out through two-stage transesterification using Trimethylolpropane (TMP) as reactant and sodium methoxide as catalyst, with variations in reaction …
ABSTRACT This study focuses on the design and manufacture of a three-wheeled motorcycle chassis using the Design For Manufacture (DFM) method approach. DFM is a method used to design products by considering ease and efficiency in the manufacturing process. In this study, the DFM approach aims to optimize the chassis design so that the manufacturing process becomes simpler, faster, and lower pr…
ABSTRACT A three-wheeled motorcycle is a type of transportation used to support human activities and transport goods, developed as an adaptation of the two-wheeled motorcycle. The transmission system functions to transfer the engine's rotational power to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to operate as intended. The transmission system must be designed properly to avoid issues during operation. …
ABSTRACT Lubrication is used to reduce friction so that the surface of the object does not wear out. Currently, the raw material for making lubricants is mineral oil. The continuous use of mineral oil will have a negative impact on the environment because it is toxic and non-biodegradable. Therefore, renewable lubricants that are safe for the environment are needed, namely, biolubricants. Biol…
ABSTACK Lubrication is an attempt to reduce friction between two adjacent surfaces. Lubricants are usually petroleum-based, which are non-renewable and difficult to biodegrade. Alternatively, vegetable oils such as palm oil can be used as they are a renewable energy source. However, pure palm oil has a low oxidation stability so it cannot be directly used as a lubricant. Oxidation stabilit…
ABSTRACT Three-wheeled motorcycles are essential transportation for commercial activities, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Modifying two-wheeled motorcycles into three-wheeled ones requires an efficient and easy-to-assemble frame design. This study applies the Design For Assembly (DFA) method to simplify the design and improve assembly efficiency. The results show that the theoretical ass…
ABSTRACT This study aims to design and analyze the structural strength of a weighbridge using the finite element method.
