Slurry Ice Machine Design Production Capacity of 1.3 Tons

摘要

Handling of fresh fish after harvest, in fish landing sites and fish processing units still uses conventional methods, so there are still many shortcomings and weaknesses that have an impact on the quality of the fish that is stored. The purpose of this study is to produce a slurry ice machine design with an evaporator temperature reaching -5°C, a production capacity of 1.3 tons according to the standard and put forward an ergonomic, safety factor as well. The results showed that the target temperature of the slurry ice machine evaporator reached -5°C was reached, with a temperature achievement of -5.8°C without using sea water reservoirs. Slurry ice production in one hour is 58.2 kg, without using water/salt reservoirs. The total slurry ice production without using sea water/salt water reservoirs, for 24 hours as many as 1,396.8 kg is converted to tons which is 1,3968 tons. Slurry ice production uses seawater/salt reservoirs, reaching an average temperature of -2.5°C. Slurry ice production in one hour is 123.6 kg, Total slurry ice production uses seawater/salt water reservoirs, for 24 hours is 2,966.4 kg converted to tons of 2.96 tons. Making this slurry ice machine with a capacity of 1.3 tons, takes approximately 45 days with the number of people making 4 people.
