Abstract :
The use of boiler technology in the industry of UMKM (Usaha Mikro Kecil
dan Menengah/ Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) is still very limited. It is due
to the cost and the large size boilers available in the industry while the UMKM
needs the small one. The development of boiler technology can increase UMKM?s
efficiency. For example, UMKM of tofu production requires a relatively longer
boiling process using a conventional stove. The utilization of boiler technology can
increase the boiling time.
The purpose of this study was to obtain a micro boiler design with a capacity
of 60 kg steam per hour. The calculations were made to find the appropriate
dimensions for a boiler capacity of 60 kg steam per hour by taking into account
safety standards and minimizing maintenance with a compact boiler size. From the
calculation, it is found that the boiler size as a whole has dimensions of length <
1.5 meters. With these dimensions, it is hoped that it can be a reference for all
UMKM in manufacturing the biomass micro boilers.
