Rancang dan Bangun Mesin Filling Sari Kedelai dengan Pneumatik

Abstract

Currently, the industry is required to work quickly, optimally, and produce products in large and accurate quantities. Due tothe high demand, home industries with simple technology are required to produce a lot of goods. One example of a household industrythat has a lot of demand for its products is the soybean juice beverage industry. However, in the process of filling soy juice drinks intobottles, there are several shortcomings, including the process is still manual, spills easily, the amount of liquid is not appropriate or notconstant, takes a long time, and drains a lot of energy. To maximize production results, a machine with a pneumatic system was made,where this system uses compressed air as the working medium and electricity as the control medium. The design of this filling machine iscarried out using several methods such as observation, literature study, and making designs. Soybean filling machine is a tool produced inthis study. The operation of the machine can be semi-automatic and automatic has a high level of accuracy and has an error of about0.045%-0.09%. This filling machine can fill bottles with sizes ranging from 250 ml to 800 ml, besides that this machine is also equippedwith a bottle counter that is already filled with drinks. The application of filling machines in home industries has the potential to increase theproductivity of soybean juice drinks and the income of their owners.
