Adisucipto, Kupang, NTT 85001, Indonesia*Corresponding author: fahrizal@staf.undana.ac.idAbstractThe deep-frying process in producing shrimp-flavored corn results in a high cooking oil content in the final product. The conventional draining method, which relies on gravity-based deposition, is not effective in significantly reducing this oil content. To address this issue, a cooking oil draining machine was designed, manufactured, and tested for use with shrimp-flavored corn. The aim of this study is to design, build, and evaluate the performance of a cooking oil draining machine with a 10 kg capacity, powered by a 200 W electric motor operating at a no-load speed of 1430 rpm. The transmission system utilizes a belt%u2013pulley mechanism. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) design models were created using Autodesk Inventor software.The machine's performance was evaluated based on the amount of oil removed over time, as indicated by the weight reduction of the product before and after the draining process. The results were then compared with those of the conventional method. Testing showed that all machine components functioned properly, reduced draining time, and produced shrimp-flavored corn with a brighter and drier appearance. At a rotation speed of 490 rpm over a 10-minute duration, the machine reduced the product weight by 5.13%, which is significantly better than the conventional method%u2019s reduction of only 1.403%.Keywords: Designing and manufacturing, cooking oil draining machine, shrimpflavored corn
