Conceptual design for dough processing integrated machine to obtain uniformity of karak size in traditional karak industries

Production of karak at this point still has problems, especially from the aspect of production. Problem on production aspects include technology or equipment, continuity of production and uniform geometry. Karak mashing process is still done manually so its produced a dough that is less homogenous. While in the process of molding karak, the dough must be molded in the form of block and compacted, so that the force used when slicing will be even greater. During the process of slicing, the dough blocks sliced crosswise with a certain angle. It certainly affects the outcome karak pieces because the slicing is done manually. If workers have a arm tired then karak will decrease the quality, especially on uniform geometry. In this research, the production process changes that replace mashing by milling, molding replace with rolling and slicing replace with cutting to reduce the workload of employees. Consequences of changes in the production process that is required production technology to supports the new production process. Design of production technology has been tailored to the needs of producers and conditions of traditional karak industry.
