PEMBUATAN DAN PENGUJIAN ALAT PENGERING SURYATIPE KABINET BERPENUTUP MIRING MENGGUNAKAN KACA DAN PLASTIK TRANSPARAN
Abstract: A Solar dryer has
been designed, constructed, and tested to dry casava and raw banana slicedwith
2 mm thickness. The dryer was equipped with a cabinet type collector to amplify
heat forthe drying chamber. The collector cover was made in angle and using
plastic and transparentglass sheets. The drying chamber was also equipped with
an aluminium ventilator to let airflowing from the collector sides to the
chamber. Data collection was performed from 9.00 a.m to13.00 p.m with one hour
interval for three days. The research results showed that the averagemass of
the dried banana and casava resulted when using glass and plastic cover,
respectively,were 138.93 gr and 163.26 gr. The average dried masses for banana
and casava samples whendried using only plastic cover were 146.13 gr and 173.06
gr. As comparison the dried masses forbanana and cassava resulted using a
conventional method were 167.33 gr and 185.23 grrespectively for all of each
measurement the masses of wet banana and casava were made thesame is 500 gr.
