| Summary: | Agricultural potential in the field of banana commodity, in Riau province
especially Pekanbaru city is very promising. It is recorded in Riau province that
the results of banana production as much as 31,594 tons by the year of 2009. This
made an influence to the production of banana chips as the focus of business of
this commodity in the province of Riau. To response this condition, the
availability of technology especially a slicer unit that can provide convenience
and advantage for manufacture is very important. Therefore, this research will
discuss about the designing process of the Slicer by using the method of Quality
Function Deployment (QFD). As The result,a specifications of tool design was
obtained, which consist of: ¼ HP electric motor drive, the tool body (Hooper,top
cover, bottom cover is made from aluminum, input shaft is made of stainless steel,
the blade is made of steel with a thickness of 1.5 to 2 mm. It has a production
capacity of 40 kg / hour, has a capability of slicing bananas, yams, potatoes,
onions both horizontally and vertically. Values obtained from the calculation of
benefit eligibility Cost Ratio is 1.29, it means that the business using the results of
this design tool can be analyzed from the level of feasibility.
