Analysis of the Design of the Palm Frond Chopping Machine as a Basic Ingredient for Animal Feed

Currently, organic waste is still underutilized. If managed properly, it will produce a sale value and can also be used for various purposes. Organic that underutilized like palm fronds. In areas especially Kalimantan, oil plantations are very common, the harvesting system in produces fresh fruit bunches (FFB) form of fronds which piled up between plants (gangan mati). The purpose this research to make machine chop into animal feed. Before making coconut frond chopping machine, design force calculations made first. amount torque obtained 1,300 kg.f.mm, motor power initial 3 Hp, length belt using pulley 1 with diameter 100 mm 2 150 A55 inch.
