Abstract: This research focuses on on the design, optimization, and construction of a cost-effective, multi-functional heating and mixing system tailored to enhance the drying efficiency of value-added agricultural products for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The system was initially developed for dried Nipa Palm but has demonstrated versatility by performing additional functions such as mixing liquids, producing jams, and homogenizing powders. A detailed framework encompassing material selection, control system development, and construction processes was implemented to ensure flexibility, energy efficiency, and consistent performance. Performance results indicate that this newly developed system is able to reduce drying times and operational costs significantly compared to conventional methods. Notably, its total cost is nearly 50% lower than the combined cost of three separate machines (mixer, stirrer, and roaster) available on the market, making it an economically viable solution for MSMEs. The system's motor power is sufficient for processing up to 0.5 kg of Nipa Palm and 15 liters of viscous liquids or semi-solid materials, though scalability for larger quantities would require adjustments in container size and motor capacity. Energy efficiency is achieved through adjustable speed and temperature controls, which minimize power consumption by eliminating the need for continuous operation of the hot plate. These features contribute to reduced labor costs, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced adaptability for various food processing applications. This research shows that the Automatic Heating and Mixing System is a practical, scalable, and energy-efficient solution for small-scale agricultural production environments.
