Abstract
Cloves are one of the leading agricultural commodities in North Maluku. The main product of the clove plant is clove flower. The clove flowers used in the production of kretek are dried cloves. Drying clove flowers can be done in two ways, first traditionally by drying them in the hot sun directly, and second by using an artificial dryer. Drying by drying directly in the sun or traditionally has several weaknesses, namely dependence on the weather, causing damage to clove flowers due to too long drying and the need for a large area for drying. The purpose of this research is to design and manufacture a clove dryer equipped with a biomass furnace as a heat source. The research method that will be carried out in this research is experimental research, by designing and building a clove dryer equipped with a biomass furnace as a heat source. The result is a clove dryer with dimensions of 120 cm long, 80 cm wide and 80 cm high. clove dryer equipped with 3 shelves with a distance of 20 cm between the racks. The clove dryer test results show that the time required to dry 18 kg of wet cloves is 13 hours with temperatures in the drying room 49 ℃ to 55 ℃.

Summary
B. Metode Penelitian Metode dalam pelaksanaan penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian eksperimental, dengan merancang dan membangun alat pengering cengkeh yang. Dilengkapi dengan tungku biomassa sebagai sumber panasnya. C. Mekanisme Kerja Alat Alat pengering cengkeh ini terdiri dari lemari pengering dan tungku biomassa. Cara kerja alat pengering ini yaitu memanfaatkan sumber panas dari pembakaran pada tungku biomassa. Pipa yang terpasang pada tungku dipanaskan dalam ruang pembakaran, kemudian aliran udara panas di distribusikan kedalam lemari pengering dengan bantuan blower. Skema dari alat pengering baerbahan bakar biomassa disajikan pada gambar 1. Pipa spiral yang berada didalam tungku biomassa berfungsi sebagai pemanas. Pipa dipanaskan kemudian di aliri udara dari blower ke ruangan pengering. 2. Pembuatan Ruang Pengering Pembuatan ruang pengering di awali dengan membuat rangka terlebih dahulu. Pembuatan diawali dengan membuat rangka tungku dengan ukuran tinggi 60 cm, lebar 41 dan panjang 41 cm.
