Innovative Drying Tool (Oven) with the Hot Air Flow Method to Improve Productivity and Quality of Sugar for Small Medium Enterprise in Indonesia

Abstract

Sugar production from palm trees, has become a livelihood for some Indonesian people. The aim of this research is to help Small Medium Enterprises increase the production of ant sugars by modifying conventional ovens with ovens using the hot air flow method. the result was that it could add capacity (kg) in shorter time period (minutes) also reduce the use of liquid petroleum gas (kg), so that it became more cost-effective and did not require work to rotate containers, and most importantly the produced ant sugar also had better quality.
