Abstract

The problem which is often faced by small scale industry is the conventional problems, i.e. product quality, capacities, technology, management, marketing and capital. Its low quality of roof tile product yielded by Small and Middle Industry because of raw material quality, technological process applied, labour skill and equipments of production. While the capacity of production is influenced by labour skill, equipments of production and availability of raw material.
 Mechanism of roof tile press machine which is used during this time (existing equipment) by small scale roof tile industry is machine of manual press by exploiting arm torque. The weakness from this system is the lack of density of tile affected by low emphasis force (100 kgs) and long production cycle. This condition will produce roof tile with low density and low production capacity ( 80 roof liles per machine unit every hour).
 The solution offered to overcome the problem of quality and capacity of roof tile product is by improving the performance of production equipments, so that production process which is counducted can produce the better product and higher level production capacity. The old roof tile press machine will all its insuffiency will be substituted with the roof tile press machine using transmission power screw. The new design of press machine can produce the emphasis force 220 kgs and production capacity 150 roof tile per machine unit every 1 hour.
