Abstract

Scrapping machine is a machine to scrap white layer of fresh nata de coco in nata de coco manufacturing process. Nata de coco is an organic high fibred food product, cultivated by fermentation activity happened on coconut, sugar, water and a specially developed nutrient. The main objective of this scrapping machine is to remove a white layer like a thin membrane, where this process currently carried out manually by workers of ANZAG Industries (M) Sdn. Bhd. Through observations, this white layer is quite difficult to be removed and the operators will take some time to fully scrap it, even for one piece of fresh nata de coco. This project is focusing on development of an automated scrapping machine which is easy to be handled by the workers. The development of this machine will be focused on its electrical controller and physical design. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is used as the main controller to run this machine automatically. It monitors inputs, make decisions and control outputs in order to automate machines and processes. It also uses CX-Programmer software to design the circuit (ladder diagram) and transfer to this PLC to operate the machine. This PLC is a product of Omron and in this project the CQMIH type will be used which have sixteen inputs and outputs. The prototype of this scrapping machine have to be tested to ensure that it can be used in nata de coco manufacturing process.
