Abstract

The Empty Bunch Press is a pressing tool that processes empty fruit bunches from the threshing results, functioning to minimize oil losses still attached to the empty bunches. The issue that occurs is the high current in the empty bunch press due to excessive feed of empty bunches, causing the pressing process to slow down and result in trips. The sliding door of the empty bunch conveyor is still manually operated by the operator, leading to uneven distribution of empty bunch feeds. Based on this issue, an automatic sliding door system for the empty bunch conveyor was designed using a pneumatic actuator. This research aims to develop an automatic sliding door on the empty bunch conveyor, evaluate the performance of the automatic sliding door system on the empty bunch conveyor, and determine the effect of the system installation on the working amperage of the electromotor and oil losses in the fiber. The sliding door system was developed by constructing an actuator bracket, a limit switch bracket, and installing the electropneumatic system. The test results showed that the automatic sliding door system performed well in reducing the electromotor working amperage, with the average amperage before installation being 142 A and after installation dropping to 126 A, a decrease of 16 A. Additionally, it contributed to a reduction in oil losses in the fiber by 14.8%.
