Abstract:

Besides as a reservoir for irrigation, the Gajah Mungkur reservoir located at Wonogiri Central Java is also used for fish floating cage sites by local fishermen. According to the fisherman, they have faced the problem of costly fish pellets in recent years, which causes high operational costs. Thus, the benefit margin becomes that reduces the income of the fisherman. A 75 kg/h roller-type pelletizing machine has been designed and fabricated in the present work to encounter a problem. The present work aims to design and fabricate a compact and low-cost roller-type fish pellet machine for the fisherman group located in the Gajah Mungkur reservoir. The uniqueness of the machine is that the machine is equipped with a steam boiler and steam injector. The machine is built from several components, i.e., hopper, roller, die, transmission gear, electric motor, steam injector, boiler, LPG burner, and safety devices. The machine works well during the test and can produce cylindrical feed fish pellets having a diameter of 2 mm and length of 4 mm

Keywords:
