Abstract

Leaching is a process to dissolve or filter out unwanted elements present in matter. In the production of nata de’ coco, leaching is used to neutralise the acetic acid formed from the fermentation process of nata. In this method, water acts as the neutralizing agent. This is done by soaking nata in water for approximately six to seven hours. The contaminated water needs to be changed regularly and this is done manually. This project is a proposal of revolutionizing this process by using a machine. Improvisation includes a new concept and mechanism and as such includes a new system design which in turn shortens the time consumed in the leaching process thus increasing the productivity in volume and in quality. The approach of the design used in this project uses an integrated computer controller system through the PLC and water treatment using the water circulation system. This is to ensure minimal usage of water and energy resources. But, at the same time making the leaching process easy and effective while operating.
