Performance Characteristics Of Cocoa Skin Liquid Smokersin Different Water Content Conditions

The purpose of this study was to design and make pyrolysis (pyrolysisator) makers of liquid smoke cocoa skin from stainless steel 3 mm thick and to test the performance of the tool on raw materials of brown leather under different conditions (moisture content 10 percent, 15 percent, 20 percent and 25 percent). The method of making uses the design directly in the production process of the Faculty of Engineering, Ekasakti University. The results of the design and manufacture, obtained a pyrolisator with a volume capacity of 27 liters equipped with tar reservoir pipes, condenser pipes of stainless steel for cooling, liquid smoke reservoirs and heat sources derived from combustion of LPG gas. The test results of tool performance such as yield and working capacity of the tool (ml / minute) were analyzed using a Completely Randomized Design with a real level of 5%, if significantly different it was further tested with a 5% BNJ Test. From the results of testing the tool obtained the performance capacity of liquid smoke generating devices for moisture content of 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% respectively 6.33; 4.67; 6.00; and 7 ml / minute and after being tested statistically significantly different. While the yield of liquid smoke each is 20.00 percent, 24.00 percent; 33.33 percent and 44.00 percent are also statistically significantly different
