At present, a problem found in the soft candy producing process in
the food producing department of Company Case Study is time-consuming roller
washing process due to an ineffective washing process. A roller is washed one by one
from a total of 10 roller (a set) in one machine. As a result, the operation rates of
other producing processes have been forced to delay. The objective of this research
is to resolve the problem found in the process of roller washing by designing a
machine for washing a set of roller per time. The research begins from examining
design concepts of roller washing machine from patents and the current quantity of
water and stream used for washing before conducting design of a new soft candy
type roller washer machine. And eventually, the efficiency of new roller washer
machine is compared with current one. The findings indicate that the newly
developed design can reduce washing period from 24.48 minutes/set to 5.56
minutes/set, and increase operation time by 18.92 minutes, or accounting for 77.28
percent. Meanwhile, water quantity used in the process is reduced from 124.82
liters/set to 28.35 liters/set, and stream quantity used in the process is also
contracted from 0.83 kilogram/hour/set to 0.18 kilogram/hour/set. This reduction can
save expenses equal to 28,795 baht/year. As the budget for making new roller
washer machine is 53,000 baht and payback period is only 1.84 year.
