<![CDATA[Currently, the process of roasting peanuts in the North Tapanuli Regency area is still done manually. This will result in fatigue for the operator. To improve this condition, a roasting machine is needed to facilitate the roasting process. The peanut roaster machine that was designed in this study has a roasting tube as the main component with an electric motor as the prime mover. In addition there is a shaft, gearbox stirrer and clutch. The results of this design obtained power of prime mover and tube rotation of 1/2 hp and 28 rpm. The machine use a ceramic gas stove as heater. The experimental results show the machine can operate properly. The time needed to roast 10 kg of peanuts is 1 hour. BEP units obtained as much as 810 kg. The maintenance is carried out by cleaning and providing lubricant especially on the gearbox.]]>
