Abstract

Cassava production not only produces tubers and leaves that can be used as
vegetables, but there is also waste produced, one of which is cassava stems. So
far, cassava stem waste has not been widely utilized by farmers, so after the
cassava is harvested, the cassava stems are just left lying on the land. This study
aims to reduce cassava stem waste by reducing the size using a multi-purpose
Chopper tool with several variations in engine rotation per minute (RPM). This
research was conducted at the Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Power
Laboratory, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture,
University of Lampung in March 2025. The treatment used 3 variations of RPM,
namely 1500, 1800, and 2100 where each used 3 different input amounts, namely:
input of 3 stems, 4 stems, and 5 stems and each RPM was repeated 3 times. The
results showed that chopping using the RPM setting of 2100 and the input amount
of 4 cassava stems had the best work capacity with a value of 150.8 kg/hour. The
lowest fuel consumption using RPM variation of 1500 and the amount of input of
3 sticks with a value of 591.6 ml/hour.
