FARDAN NUR MUHARRAM. B.1510855. Analysis of Effect Thickness
Aluminum-foil and Machine Work Time on Damage Sachet Sweet Condensed
Packaging. Supervised by Rosy Hutami and Sri Rejeki Retna Pertiwi.
Sachet packaging has characteristics that are relatively inexpensive, have
good barrier properties against water vapor and gas. However, sachet packaging
also has the disadvantage of being easily damaged, the results of a preliminary study
using causal analysis diagram and pareto diagram states that the thickness of
aluminum-foil is thought to be a major factor in packaging damage such as neat or
tangled packaging and visible inside of aluminum-foil . Therefore the researchers
consider it important to analyze the influence of aluminum-foil thickness and
machine working time on the damage to sachets. The method used in this study is
a Factorial Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with the first treatment factor
being the thickness of aluminum foil A1 (75µm), A2 (80µm) and A3 (85µm). The
second treatment factor was machine work time B1 (2 hours), B2 (4 hours) and B3
(8 hours). Analysis of the data used is the ANOVA test and damage regression. The
results showed 75µm aluminum-foil thickness resulted in an average damage of
1,513 sachets and 99.35% regression, 80µm aluminum-foil thickness content
resulted in an average damage of 1,792 sachets and 99.69% regression and 85µm
aluminum-foil thickness levels produced an average average damage of 3,603
sachets and 99.92% regression. This can prove that thicker aluminum-foil layer and
the longer machine's working time, the higher level of damage. The high amount of
damage caused by the machine is forced to work harder on media that exceeds the
capacity of engine and cause a decrease in performance on the machine used.
