Abstrak
Kenaikan harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM) dan listrik menyebabkan biaya operasional produksi dengan
menggunakan mesin parut kelapa ini menjadi semakin besar pula. Hal ini menjadi masalah bagi industri
yang mengolah hasil pertanian yang menggunakan mesin ini. Oleh karena itu perlu dicari upaya untuk
menekan biaya operasional produksi melalui pengurangan biaya penggunaan bahan bakarnya. Upaya
tersebut adalah dengan cara menggunakan bahan bakar yang lebih murah dari penggunaan BBM.Upaya
yang dilakukan adalah penerapan konversi BBM ke BBG untuk mesin parut kelapa. Oleh karea itu perlu
dilakukan penelitian untuk menganalisis konsumsi dan biaya BBG. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah
untuk menganalisis banyaknya bahan bakar yang digunakan dan biaya bahan bakar pada mesin parut
kelapa dengan menggunakan bahan bakar gas (BBG). Bahan bakar yang digunakan, bahan bakar
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) 3 kg. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode
eksperimental. Dari hasil penelitian, diperoleh bahwa besarnya konsumsi bahan bakar gas LPG pada
putaran mesin 1.900 rpm sebesar 0,136 kg/jam - 0,152 kg/jam, sedangkan biaya bahan bakar gas LPG
yang digunakan sebesar Rp 816,-/jam – Rp 912,-/jam.

Abstract
The increase in the price of fuel oil (BBM) and electricity costs caused the operational costs of production
using this coconut grated machine to become even greater. This is a problem for industries that process
agricultural products using this machine. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to reduce operating
costs for the cost of using fuel. These efforts are by using fuel that is cheaper than the use of BBM. Efforts
are being made to implement conversion of BBM to BBG for coconut grated machines. Therefore, it is
necessary to conduct research to analyze the consumption and costs of BBG. The purpose of this research
is to analyze the amount of fuel used and the cost of fuel in the machine grated coconut using gas fuel
(BBG). The fuel used is 3 kg Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) fuel. The method used in this study is an
experimental method. From the results of the study, it was found that the price of LPG gas fuel at 1,900
rpm engine speed was 0,136 kg / hour - 0,152 kg / hour, while the cost of LPG gas fuel which was Rp.
816, - / hour - Rp. 912, - / hour.
Keywords: consumption, cost, gas fuel, coconut grated machine
