SISTEM PENGATURAN MOTOR SATU FASA PADA MESIN PENGADUK BUBUR KERTAS

Abstract

The excessive use of paper has led to an increase in waste paper, posing significant environmental concerns. Recycling used paper is an effective solution, with pulp processing being one of its key stages. To improve the efficiency of this process, a continuous mixing system is required. This study presents the design and implementation of a semi-automated pulp mixing system using a single-phase motor as the main actuator, controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with an open-loop configuration. Experimental results show that under no-load conditions, the system achieves an average motor speed error of 1%, indicating a high level of measurement accuracy. However, when operating under load (mixing paper pulp), the average motor speed decreased to 43.6%, demonstrating that mechanical load has a considerable impact on system performance
