| Abstract | A roller compressor for sugar palm (Arenga westerhoutii Griff) was invented toincrease the efficiency of postharvest processing. The compressor consists of 6 mainparts viz. lower structure, upper structure, feeder, roller, motor transmission 746 W, andtank for separating kernel and husk. The experiment was designed to suit to shelldiameter and spherical shape of sugar palm fruit. The compressor was tested with cutand non-cut persistent calyx cooked fruits. It was found that the cut persistent calyxcooked sugar palm fruit released 420.7 kg of edible part (endosperm) or 20.6% of totalfruit weight. The efficiency of compression was 442.3 kg/hr.While the non-cut fruitreleased 435.3 kg of edible part of 2,083.6 kg or 20.9% of total weight. The efficiency ofcompression was 485.7 kg/hr. Results indicate that the current compressor could increasepostharvest processing of sugar palm and be suitable for non-cut than the cut fruit. |
