Abstract

This study aims to design and develop an automated sweet martabak processing system with a production capacity of 25 kg/h. The proposed system integrates a mixing mechanism, heating unit, and electric motor into a single unit to improve production efficiency. The research methodology includes system design, mechanical analysis, fabrication, and performance testing. The results indicate that the system exhibits good mechanical performance, where the primary load is dominated by the dough with a moment of inertia of 0.27 kg·m², while the motor power of 362.9 W is sufficient to ensure stable operation. Performance evaluation shows that the system achieves a mixing efficiency of 85% and thermal uniformity of 80%. Compared to the conventional method, the automated system reduces processing time by approximately 50%, decreases labor requirements, and improves product consistency up to 90%. These findings demonstrate that the integration of mechanical and thermal processes significantly enhances production efficiency and product quality. The developed system has strong potential as an appropriate technology solution for small-scale food industries.
