A vacuum frying machine with an automatic stirring and temperature
control system is designed to process fruit into chip products in order to get a higher selling value and an alternative to increase shelf life compared to fresh fruit because the water content is low and the process is no longer occurring. physiological like fresh fruit. The purpose in designing a vacuum frying machine with a stirring system and automatic temperature control is to design the shape, make detailed drawings, determine the calculation of machine elements, and determine the bill of materials for making vacuum frying machines with a stirring and temperature control system. automatic. In making this machine the author uses the design method of VDI 2222, concept selection uses the Stuart Pugh method, image software uses Solidworks 2020 and work images use ISO standards. From the method that the author uses, the design results are obtained. The results of the calculation on the frying tube produce an outer tube diameter (do) of 300.4 mm, an inner tube diameter (in) of 298 mm, with an oil capacity for frying of 14.5 liters and a material storage rack resulting in the length / height of the tube. semicircle of 300 mm and a diameter of 200 mm for a maximum material capacity of 1.5 kg on each frying pan. The calculation results of the engine elements using a DC electric motor with a power of 37.68 Watts, the diameter of the pipe shaft (main shaft) is 3/4 "or 19.05 mm and the type of bearing used is a single row ball bearing with the bearing number 6804, while The bill of material used to make this machine is IDR 3,390,110.64.
