Abstract

Normally, workers or villagers will face a problem when they want to cut the pineapple leaves. The characteristics of pineapple leaves that have sharp and thorny leaves make it difficult to cut. Therefore, the possibility of being injured when cutting this pineapple leaf will be higher. According to this statement, the purpose of this project is to create an innovation by designing a new product is call "Pineapple Leaf Cutter" (PLC) to solve the problems that faced by consumers who want to cut the pineapple leaves. Therefore, this product is the result of innovation from several studies that previously used a knife or machete to cut the pineapple leaves and from this study found that they needed a lot of energy to cut the pineapple leaves. The "3D solid modeling" method used to design this "pineapple leaf cutter" (PLC). This project is designed to save consumer time and energy. Additionally, this product is designed to be a portable pineapple leaf cutter because of its small features compared to the machine, so that it can be easily stored and to be used. In order to obtain and produce a good PLC product structure, some metal materials are used such as soft steel and stainless steel. When producing this product, it involves several installation processes such as rolling, drilling, grinding and welding. In a conclusion, the results of this project have been successful in helping consumers to facilitate their work to cut more pineapple leaves in one time and this product is particularly suitable in pineapple industry.
