Abstract
The production process of tofu has a soybean milling process, separating the waste and bringing the soybean juice to be boiled. Add the coagulant and press it to separate the water to get a sheet of tofu about 500×500×20 mm.
The tofu cubes must be cut to 38×38×20 mm and the tofu cutting process. Nowadays, cutting knives (slits) with labor, people, which takes a lot of time. As a result, the production process was delayed with the operators having the idea of designing and creating a tofu sheet cutter to reduce the problem.
Design and build tofu sheet cutting machine Carry out the problem caused by the process of cutting tofu meat, thus designing a tofu cutter. There are 4 key parts: cutting blade set, tofu release kit, cutting base set, weighted knife set.The machine has the ability to cut from tofu sheets up to 500×500×20 mm, cut into cubes up to 38×38×20 mm.
The results were a blade-based Tofu sheet cutter using one worker, and then experimented with cutting 38×38×20 mm of tofu sheets completely, and 144 tofu sheets per hour. Compared to 59 cutters per hour The production rate of Tofu sheet cutting machine can cut tofu sheets 1.75 times higher than the cutter or 57.8% higher than the tofu cubes of the specified size.
