Analysis of the Performance of an Organic Waste Shredder and Mixer Equipped with Slicer and Hammer Blades

Abstrak

This research focuses on the performance analysis of an organic waste shredding and mixing machine equipped
with slicer and hammer-type blades. The study addresses three main research questions: (1) What is the
production capacity of the shredding machine using slicer and hammer blades in processing organic waste? (2)
How efficient is the machine in managing organic waste with these blade types? (3) What is the final quality of
the results from the shredding and mixing processes performed by the machine? The methodology involves tool
design, performance testing, and analysis. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and
literature studies, focusing on three aspects: (1) the production capacity of the machine with slicer and hammertype blades (2) the operational efficiency in processing organic waste, and (3) the final quality of the shredded
and mixed material. Based on the analysis, the following results were obtained: (1) The average effective
working capacity of the machine was 138.85 kg/hour, while the theoretical working capacity averaged 237.78
kg/hour. (2) The average efficiency of the machine using slicer and hammer blades was 58%. (3) The shredded
and mixed output showed good final quality, supported by an optimal mixing moment, indicating effective
machine performance in processing organic waste.
