 Discussion

In industrial activities, especially in the agricultural industry, the use of

machinery can not be separated in the manufacture of industrial products. One of
the machines or equipment commonly used in the industry is a machine or
supporting equipment. Supporting tools are tools used to support the activities of
an industry or facilitate an industrial activity. Supporting machinery or equipment
is useful to complete the production process and material handling without any
physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological changes. Supporting tools can
reduce the cost, increase productivity of industry, etc. Examples of supporting
machines are cooling machines or cold storage and packaging machines.
Packaging machine serves to facilitate a product of industrial processing stored,
transported, and distributed. Packing machine consists of hand sealer, pedal
sealer, vacuum sealer, etc. Cooling machine is one unit of supporting facilities
that serves to supply cold water to the Installation of Radioactive Waste
Treatment (Hartanto and Aziz 2014).
Packing machine is a sealer using the principle of heat in its use that is
used to melt the plastic. Examples of common sealer found is the pedal sealer and
vacuum sealer. The working principle of the pedal sealer is by inducing heat from
the filament to the Teflon layer which is ultimately channeled to the plastic layer.
This results in the heat from the filament being absorbed by the plastic so that the
plastic packaging is sealed. Plastic rectification that is able to seal the product
neatly packaged and protected from free air contamination (Rahman 2006). While
the vacuum sealer has a working principle that is by memvakum (suck air) in the
product packaging, which will result in a process whose name is oxidized, ie
oxygen will be suppressed in such a way that the existing bacteria will be longer
breeding or even difficult to live long. Vacuum sealer will spend all air in the
packaging and cover the packaging with the heating process automatically (PT
Maksindo 2017).
