The Effect Of Rotation, Mass, Distance And Wide End of The Stem Forging Against The Thinness of “Jagung Titi” on The Performance of The Forging Corn Mechanism

Abtract. “Jagung Titi” is a traditional food product of Lamaholot tribes. It is made by process of corn seeds are roasted until cooked and continued with forged to thin. During this process the forging used traditional technology in the form of a pair of stones, one as a foundation and other stones are used for forging (still manual). For that, alternative technology is examined as the mechanism of forging corn. The ability of this wrought corn mechanism is influenced by the rotation, mass, distance and wide end of the stem forging against thinness “jagung titi” corn of the wrought corn mechanism. The results of the study show that the greater the rotation, the mass (the stem of forging), and small of wide end the stem forging.
