Characteristics of Pumice from Cicurug and Its Application as a Bleacher for Crude Palm Oil

2024-05-16T12:46:18+08:00

Pumice is relatively abundant in Indonesia, especially in Cicurug District, Sukabumi. Pumice has unique characteristics, so it has the potential to be an alternative bleaching agent or a bleacher for crude palm oil. Bleaching is one of the stages in processing crude palm oil into palm cooking oil. In the cooking oil industry, the bleaching of crude palm oil generally uses bentonite as a bleacher. This research aims to determine the characteristics of pumice and the optimum conditions for the bleaching process of crude palm oil with pumice as a bleacher. The research method consists of pumice activation, activated pumice characterization, degumming of crude palm oil, bleaching of crude palm oil, and analysis of processed palm oil. The results show that the metal oxide composition in activated pumice is dominated by silica (62.99%) and alumina (14.79%) and has a non-uniform pore size distribution. Optimum bleaching conditions are achieved when using 30% pumice and a bleaching temperature of 105 oC for 30 minutes. Under optimal bleaching conditions, pumice can reduce the color brightness level of crude palm oil from 600 to 125 mg/L Pt, or a bleaching power of 79.2%.

Redesign of Wallet Production Facility Layout Using ARC and Simulation at Fanri Collection

2024-07-23T18:51:41+08:00

Abstract. The development of technology at this time causes competition in the accessories and fashion industry. This situation has caused an increase in the number of requests for products at Fanri Collection, a producer of leather craft accessories. To survive and win the competition, companies need to increase productivity. One way of resolving the issue is by designing the layout and production facilities to minimize the distance of material handling in the production process. This research aims to design layout and production facilities on wallet products with the Discrete Event Simulation (DES) method using FlexSim 21.0 software and Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) to analyze the amount of output and get a proposed facility layout. Based on the simulation results, in producing 200 units of wallets, the initial total material handling distance is 20.667 meters with a cycle time of 1 day, 5 hours, and 3 minutes. After making improvements with ARC, the total material handling distance is reduced to 17.475 meters with a cycle time of 1 day, 4 hours, and 48 minutes. Thus, the improvement can minimize material handling distance by 3.192 meters and reduce cycle time by about 15 minutes.
