Teknologi Tepat Guna Mesin Pencuci Porang untuk Meningkatkan Produktivitas Petani Porang di Desa Morang, Kare, Madiun: Indonesia

Abstract

Recently, the productivity of porang tuber-based products has been growing well, especially after the Indonesian Government released a policy to prohibit the export of porang plants and their harvested products. One of the porang-based products is in the form of chips. Before processing, the porang tubers must be washed thoroughly to remove soil/dirt from the surface. The conventional washing process of each tuber can take up to 3-5 minutes. Therefore, the purpose of this activity is to design and manufacture porang washing equipment based on centrifuge washing model with rubber vibration. Four stages to carried out the program, i.e. designed and manufactured the washing machine, run the machine in laboratory, training activities to the porang farmers, and evaluation process. From the observation to porang farmers as our partner during the activity, it can be seen that the partners can operate the washing machine well. The results show that the washing process of porang tuber using this technology can save the washing time up to 90% compared to the conventional washing. The surface cleanliness of porang tubers resulted from the developed washing machine is the same as the conventional one. The noise level of the machine has met the requirement of Indonesian Government. It is clear that the usage of the machine can increase the production capacity of products-based porang tuber. In addition, the use of this technology may promote a more comfortable and healthy work environment due to ergonomic reason, however, based on RULA analysis, the machine is still need to be improved in the future. Overall, the partners were satisfied with this activity and expected to have further programs in the future.

Produktivitas produk-produk berbasis umbi porang banyak dikembangkan saat ini setelah adanya kebijakan dari Pemerintah Indonesia yang melarang ekspor tanaman porang dan produk-produk panennya. Salah satu produk dari pengembangan umbi porang adalah dalam bentuk chip. Sebelum diolah, umbi porang harus dicuci sampai bersih untuk menghilangkan tanah di permukaan umbi porang pasca panen. Proses pencucian konvensional dapat menghambat proses produksi karena dibutuhkan waktu cukup lama dimana pencucian satu buah umbi porang dapat mencapai 3-5 menit. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk merancang dan membuat alat pencuci porang menggunakan prinsip centrifuge washing with rubber vibration. Tahapan metode pelaksanan kegiatan yang dilakukan meliputi perencanaan dan pembuatan alat, uji coba alat, pelatihan penggunaan alat kepada mitra, dan evaluasi kegiatan. Dari pendampingan yang dilakukan terhadap mitra terlihat bahwa alat pencuci umbi porang dapat dioperasikan secara mandiri oleh mitra. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa proses pencucian menggunakan teknologi tepat guna alat pencuci umbi porang ini dapat menghemat waktu pencucian sampai 90%. Umbi porang dari hasil pencucian terlihat sama bersih seperti dari proses pencucian konvensional. Dengan demikian penerapan teknologi tepat guna alat pencuci umbi porang ini dapat mendukung peningkatan produksi produk-produk berbasis umbi porang. Tidak hanya itu saja, penggunaan teknologi tepat guna alat pencuci ini juga dapat membuat posisi kerja mitra menjadi ergonomis sehingga dapat menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang lebih nyaman dan sehat. Secara umum dapat disimpulkan bahwa mitra puas dengan kegiatan ini dan berharap ada keberlanjutan program-program lainnya.
