Seasoning Shrimp Paste Sauce Machine 3 Heating Systems

Abstract

This research aims to 1) develop a shrimp paste seasoning production machine with a three-system heat energy power source, 2) evaluate the performance of the shrimp paste seasoning production machine with three heat energy systems, and 3) study user satisfaction

with the machine. The research instruments used include performance data recording forms and satisfaction surveys. Data analysis was conducted using software to calculate the mean and percentage.

The research findings showed that the shrimp paste seasoning production machine with three heat energy systems utilizes heat sources from three systems: an electric heater, infrared gas, and charcoal. A motor is used to drive a stirring paddle with an automatic timer for stopping. The machine is equipped with a system for packaging the seasoning into various types of containers, such as bottles, tubes, jars, and pouches. The machine can process up to 20 kilograms at a time, using an electric heater with an average processing time of 40 minutes. When using infrared gas energy, the average time is 30 minutes, and with charcoal, the average time is 48 minutes. The user satisfaction level in the workplace was found to be at the highest level.
