Besides, mango juice can be consumed freshly, processed into dry powder, mixed or blended with other juice to make fruit jams, or evaporated to concentrates. Processing the fruit into the form that can easily be stored, preserved, packaged, transported or consumed is crucial to having the product all the year round. Due to the perishable nature, abundant wastage during the production season and relative scarcity during the off season were recorded by farmers. However, the fruit is highly perishable in its natural state after harvest due to the chemical deterioration and environmental effects. Mango fruit (Mangifera indica) is very rich in fibre and vitamin C which are the required nutrients for good health and easy digestion of food in human body system. When considering the machine's operation at 792 hours per year, the payback period was 6 months and 11 days. The ginger candy compression machine's engineering economic analysis results found that the machine's operating cost was 18,063.6 baht per year. The efficiency increased with the amount of ginger stirred. The maximum efficiency was 90.85 percent. When the speed increased, the efficiency and the working rate increased too. The results found that the motor's speed that was suitable for compression was a Rotational speed of 1,400☑0 rpm. The extrusion die had an average diameter of 9.7 millimeters. This study installs the inverter to control the motor speed at 1,000☑0 1,200☑0 and 1,400☑0 rpm. The machine was designed with two horsepower motors or 1.5 kilowatts to drive the shaft and to rotate the screw through the flange. Ginger candy compression machine consists of the main structure, namely the extruder and power transmission systems. This research objective was to design the ginger candy compression machine and determine the efficiency and capacity for saving time and labor in pressing ginger candy for community enterprise groups Pim Malaherb, Chiang Rai Province. ![]()
