Abstract

Keropok lekor is a famous snack food, originated from East-Coast of Malaysia which is made from the composition of fish, sago flour, pandan leaves, salt, and water. The purpose of this study was to develop a keropok lekor cutting machine using pneumatic concept. This study focused on engineering concept and application of this invention in order to help keropok lekor entrepreneur to increase their production volume. Generally, this prototype involved cutting and feeding mechanism. Firstly, the keropok lekor will be moved by feeding mechanism and the cutting blade will reciprocally move upward and downward to implement cutting process. The study started with define specification such as identify customer requirement and function of the machine. Then the process continued with concept generation which a few designs and concepts of the machine. Once decision has been made via critical and systematical analysis, detail design has been made using SolidWork as a 3D modeling of the machine. After completion of 3D modeling, the design has been analyzed using COSMOXPress to optimize the design. When the prototype development completed, product testing have been done. From the result of this prototype, suggestions and recommendation for improvement have been persuaded as a continuous improvement of the machine. Upon completion of the study, it can be applied by the entrepreneurs who seriously involved in the keropok lekor manufacturing industry. As a consequence, volume production can be done and fulfill market requirement all over the country.
