Abstract

The micro, small and medium scale of industrial enterprises for cassava crackers is growing rapidly in Kamang Magek District of Agam Regency. Cassava crackers are the typical crackers which only find in the Agam Regency. The taste is crunchy and can be stored for a long time, making this cracker a special food souvenir. In the process of making, cassava is boiled and pounded so that it becomes pasta. Pasta will be formed and dried in the sun. The crackers that have been formed should be dried in a maximum of 1 day. Today, the makers of cassava crackers are still dependent on sunlight, so they often cannot meet market demand during the rainy season. Therefore, through the IbM (Ipteks bagi Masyarakat) program for the community funded by DIKTI, solar drying technology is introduced by using a type of solar tunnel. The result shows the drying time is 2 times faster than traditional drying process. Hopefully, this technology can help the community of the cassava crackers maker to increase their productivity.

Abstract

The food business opportunity is very interesting for home industry entrepreneurs in West Sumatra, a home industry of cassava chips. The step of the cassava chip production process that takes longer time than the other step is the washing process. The cassava washing process is carried out manually because washing device that uses motor drives are not affordable for home industry entrepreneurs. In addition, the cassava washing process makes a physical complaint from the operators. Therefore, this research designs a cassava washer that is affordable for the home industry by considering design methods, ergonomic aspects, and customers' needs. This design is carried out using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method to translate the voice of the customer into technical and design characteristics, morphological charts for generating alternative designs, and an objective weighted method for evaluating that alternative. The result of this research is the design of a cassava washer which is more practical because it makes the operator works easier and can save time in the washing process. It is also very affordable, with an estimated cost of production IDR2,397,743.
