Salah satu kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang sedang dikembangkan oleh Program Studi Teknik Mesin UNTAG Surabaya adalah redesain dari alat pencacah pakan pada peternakan sapi UD. Mujur, Desa Gayaman Kecamatan Mojoanyar, Kabupaten Mojokerto. Ada tiga permasalahan utama yang ditemukan. Permasalahan pertama adalah mesin pencacah tidak mampu mencacah bahan pakan secara maksimal karena desain alat pencacah yang kurang ergonomis. Sehingga solusinya adalah dengan meredesain alat pencacah, terutama pada komponen pisau pencacah pakan. Permasalahan kedua adalah terdapat beberapa komponen pada mesin yang rusak dan harus diganti, sehingga solusinya dengan mengganti komponen penyaring dan v-belt. Penyaring yang terdahulu terlalu kecil ukurannya sehingga hasil cacahan sulit keluar, membuat terperangkap di dalam mesin. V-belt yang terdahulu sudah terlalu kendor sehingga tidak bisa memutar mesin pencacah dengan maksimal. Permasalahan ketiga yaitu kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan pekerja tentang mesin pencacah pakan. Solusinya, diadakan diskusi dan penyuluhan untuk mengedukasi para pekerja tentang seluk beluk mesin pencacah pakan, mulai dari prinsip kerjanya hingga perawatan mesinnya. Secara umum, kegiatan berjalan dengan lancar, membuat produktivitas peternakan meningkat, terutama pada sektor penyediaan pakan dan manajemen pemberian pakan.
One of the community service program that has been developed by department of mechanical engineering UNTAG Surabaya is the redesign of chopper machine for cattle fodder in the farm of UD. Mujur, Gayaman, Mojoanyar, Mojokerto. There were three problems found in the farm. The first one was the chopper machine cannot maximally chop the cattle fodder because of the design of the chopper component. Hence, the solution was to redesign the chopper component and the machine blade. The second problem was there were components that are damaged and should be replaced. The solution was to replace those components; filter and v-belt. The filter before had too small mesh so that the feed ingredient could not come out the machine. The new filter has the bigger mesh so that feed ingredient could come out the machine. The v-belt was replaced because the old one was too saggy so that the machine could not rotate clearly. The last problem was the workers’ knowledge and skills to operate the chopper machine was minimum. We created a group discussion and counseling to educate the workers about the chopper machine; the principle of work and the machine maintenance. Overall, the program succeed. It increased the productivity of the farm, especially in the cow feed and cattle fodder management.
