Perancangan Alat Pengering Mie Ramah Lingkungan

Noodle is a food product which is made from wheat, with or without additional ingredients. The products of noodle are generally used as the source of energy because the contents of carbohydrates are relatively high.Drainage is a process to extract or separate the water in the relatively small ammount from the substances using thermal energy. The purposes from this drainage process are: to decrease the water level from the subtances to have longer shelflife, decrease the subtances' volume to ease and save the transport costs, packaging and storage.The main principple of drainage is extraction of the water from subtances as the result on process of heat transfer which is correlated with the difference of temperature between product's suface with water's surface in several location inside the products.Noodle drainage methods can be distinguished as Home Industrial Scale and Big Industrial Scale. Home Industrial Scale can be distinguished as Sun dry and Toaster. Big Industrial Scale can be distinguished as Toaster and Hot Dryer.In this research, noodle drying process are using the tools that can lessen the weaknesses which is owned by the previous tools used, including in big industry. The tool used in this research is using centrifugal force for drainage and blower with the low costs.Materials used in this research have a simple design thatmake it easy to be applied. Moreover the materials used are save for the food processing

Implementation of Rapid Prototyping Polylactic Acid Using 3D Printing TECHNOLOGY for Early Education Applications

One of the technologies that are developing rapidly is 3D printing. 3D printing machines can create objects easily, quickly and in detail. There are three main steps that a 3D printing machine goes through, namely design, printing and finishing. 3D printers using polylactic acid are widely used in various types of fields such as industrial machinery, spacecraft, consumer goods, electronic components, vehicles, medical industry, toy industry and others.In this research, we succeeded in making an educational game tool called Tetris with the 3D printing method using polylactic acid filaments. The process of consistently creating 3-dimensional objects from digital files by arranging many layers of thin metal in succession is called 3D printing. Using additive manufacturing technology, 3D digital designs are turned into virtual products by sequentially depositing metals. 3D printing provides reasonable feasibility to meet various parameters based on the engineering arena. By utilizing the advantages of PLA material, which has good tensile strength, good surface quality, is available in various colors and user-friendly, educational game tools are produced that have the advantage of being attractive, light, strong and easy to play. That way, making educational game tools using 3D printing made from PLA can solve the problems with previous educational game tools, which are not easy to play and less attractive to early childhood. Educational games that have been made in this study can be used as a platform for learning children at the kindergarten to elementary school levels. The way to play this educational game Tetris is by attaching shapes to the main part of Tetris and matching them with other shapes, just like playing a puzzle where each shape that is installed must match the other shape
