Design of a Processing Room for Red Pork Offal

Abstract

This project aims to propose a design for a red offal processing room in a pork processing plant that processes 500 pigs per day or 80 pigs per hour. Each pig weighs approximately 105 kilograms, with 3.47% of the weight consisting of red offal. The process involves separating liver, gall bladder, heart, lungs, spleen, and kidneys as required. These parts are then chilled in cold water to reduce their temperature to below 7°C before packaging and sealing. Sorting is based on the number of pieces and weight, depending on the type of product. The processing times of sorting chilling and packaging vary depending on the product's type and size. The design was developed using data collected from the current production line and referenced standards. The room layout was planned using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) principles to analyze activity relationships within the room and define functional areas. Equipment sizes and the required number of operators were calculated to ensure optimal use of space. The red offal processing room was designed with an area of 56 square meters. After the layout design was completed, a 3D model was created using SketchUp 2024, and the workflow and operations were simulated and analyzed using Flexsim 2024

Analysis of Factors Affecting Productivity Improvement in Sugarcane Processing Plants.

Sugar production from sugarcane is a complex process that requires precise control. One of the major issues is sugar loss, which can result from various factors, particularly "burnt cane," before being sent to the mill. This affects the quality of the sugarcane and the efficiency of sugar extraction, along with the performance of the machinery and the properties of the cane, which impact the amount of sugar extracted. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence sugar loss in the sugar production process, using quantitative data from a sugar factory. Nine variables were examined, including mechanical efficiency, machine downtime per day, cane waiting time per day, sand content in cane juice, pol extraction efficiency, overall working time efficiency, cane juice purity, cane sugar content (C.C.S.), and burnt cane. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis to examine relationships between variables and regression modeling to predict sugar loss. The results showed that mechanical efficiency, cane sugar content, and the amount of sand or impurities in the cane juice were significantly correlated with sugar loss. Mechanical efficiency had a direct relationship with the amount of cane milled, which improved sugar production. On the other hand, burnt cane, or cane that was burnt before harvesting, resulted in reduced sugar extraction and impacted the quality of the sugar. Therefore, reducing sugar loss in the production process can be achieved by improving machine efficiency, reducing impurities in cane juice, and managing burnt cane, which will improve sugar production efficiency in the future.

Selection of landrace rice varieties resistant to saline soil

Rice is a salt-sensitive crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of salinity at flowering stage on physiological traits and yield of landrace rice. The experiment design was 4*10 Factorial in RCBD with 4 replications. Factor A was four salinity levels: control, 6, 12 and 16 dS/m; Factor B was 10 rice varieties. Data were collected on physiological traits and grain yield. The results showed that increasing salinity level decreased rice yield. The highest yield reduction was found when the rice received salt stress at 16 dS/m. In addition, rice varieties showed different yield performance when exposed to salt stress. In this found that Hom Yai variety had the lowest yield reduction when grown at 16 dS/m salinity level and did not differ from salt tolerant check variety.
