Abstract

This research was aimed to design, fabricate, and evaluate the lemongrass slicing machine which can slice on both perpendicular and inclination to lemongrass stem, within less than 4.0 mm of thickness. The machine was fabricated by stainless steel of 740 x 740 x 830 mm sized, and consisted of 3 main parts of feeding slots, slicing knives, and a releasing slot. The machine functions by manual feeding a bunch lemongrass into the feeding slot one by one. The testing result revealed that perpendicular slicing condition was 48.9 kg/h and 98.6 % of working capacity, and working efficiency. Inclination slicing condition was 35.0 kg/h and 98.8 % of working capacity, and working efficiency respectively.
