| Summary: | In this current era, people still use many furniture, decorations, and tools from bamboo trees especially lemang sellers where bamboo is used as utensils to cook lemang. There are not many tools or mechanisms which can help the seller to cut the inside of the bamboo tree and make it hollow which is why this mechanism is developed. The lemang sellers need to cut the bamboo according to the required length and clean the inner part of the bamboo manually before filling it with rice and coconut milk. The product helps solve this problem and cut the bamboo easily where this mechanism drills the center of the bamboo without anyone holding it and the bamboo is cut cleanly and safely without any risk of injury. In the food industry, bamboo is used as a casing for lemang. This project focuses on the development of a bamboo hollower that cuts and clears the inner part of the bamboo. The products use a rotational mechanism using a sprocket. This product helps minimize the amount of work and time required to clean the bamboo thus increasing productivity. This product is beneficial for the lemang sellers and other industries that utilized bamboo as the main material. |
