ENGINEERING DESIGN OF A 5 KG CAPACITY OIL DRAINING MACHINE USING SOLIDWORKS 2024 AND RUBBER-BASED DAMPER

Abstract

This study designed a 5 kg-capacity oil spinner machine for fried food products using SolidWorks 2024 software. The machine incorporates innovative features, including a tilted outer drum to accelerate the discharge of drained oil and Nitrile Rubber (NBR) vibration dampers installed on the frame legs to enhance operational stability. The objective of this research was to improve rotational stability, optimize the oil removal process, and reduce vibrations that could affect machine performance. The research methods included three-dimensional design, static simulations covering stress, displacement, strain, and factor of safety (FOS) analyses, numerical calculations, industrial management analysis, and occupational health and safety (OHS) inspections. The simulation results indicated that the machine structure is safe, with a high FOS value, demonstrating its suitability for operation. This design is expected to improve production efficiency and productivity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs
