Design and Cost of Pandan Chopping Machine Components with an Electric Motor Drive

Pandanus amaryllifolius significant role in various industrial and agricultural sectors. The efficiency of the cutting process or leaf polishing, the use of apolishing machine is considered as one of the most potential solutions. The cutting machine can be one of the options for accelerating the processing of leaves, for an effort to improve productivity, efficiency, and size uniformity in the resulting cutting. "Design of Pandan Decking Machine with Electric Motor Drive, for the design of the design concept of the pandan leaf cutting machine using the Solidworks 2016 application, to facilitate the researchers in the process of construction design, the selection of the concept and components of the machine. The engine power is powered by 1-phase electric motor with power of 1⁄4 HP. The B concept was chosen due to the lighter engine specifications because of the use of an arc iron size 4x4 cm with thickness of 1 mm.
