Abstract

The problem of agricultural waste is a problem experienced by almost all people in all regions in Indonesia. The increasing population followed by the increasing need for food such as vegetables and fruits from agriculture has an impact on the amount of waste produced. Waste treatment is very necessary to overcome the existing problems so as to increase the use value of the waste. One of the efforts to manage organic waste from agricultural products is to use it as a planting medium in the form of block compost which has biodegradable properties so that it can decompose in the soil. Pressing block compost is needed to produce a planting medium that is dense and not crumbly, so technology is needed that can produce an optimal level of compost density. This study aims to design press machine compost block with hydraulic system, determine the performance of a block composting machine, and determine the efficiency of using a block composting machine. The results of the design press machine compost block are the dimensions of the block compost hydraulic press machine with a base table size of 50 cm; width 25 cm and frame height 100 cm. A block mold with a diameter of 16 cm and a height of 30 cm and a wall thickness of 5 mm. Hydraulic size with a diameter of 5 cm, a height of 30 cm and a wall thickness of 3 mm, the motor specifications use a single phase motor powered by electricity with a horse power of 0.25 HP with a current strength of 0.5 Ampere. The rotational speed of the driving motor is 1438.67 rpm and the oil pump motor rotation speed is 721.33 rpm. The hydraulic pressure strength of 70, 80, 90, and 100 psi can produce 1 compost block. The use of electric power on the hydraulic compression force of the compost block press machine of 100 psi with the hydraulic position in the up and down press requires an electrical power of 0.39 watts. At a pressure of 90 psi with the hydraulic position in an up and down state it uses an electrical power of 0.37 watts. The hydraulic pressure strength is 80 psi, in the up hydraulic position it can use 0.34 watts of electrical power and in the down hydraulic position it can consume 0.32 watts of electrical power. While the hydraulic pressure at 70 psi position with the hydraulic position up can consume 0.30 watts of electrical power and at the down hydraulic position it can consume 0.29 watts of electrical power. The hydraulic machine works by paying attention to the compatibility between the hydraulic compost block press machine and the machine operator at the standard Indonesian size with an average height of 150 cm to 180 cm.
