Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh variasi diameter puli terhadap kinerja mesin penepung tipe Disc Mill FFC-15, dengan bahan baku berupa 500 gram biji jagung kering yang digiling menggunakan tiga variasi diameter puli 6 inch, 7 inch, dan 8 inch. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan diameter puli secara signifikan mempengaruhi efisiensi penepungan. Hasil penelitian ini pada efisiensi penepungan tertinggi dicapai oleh puli berdiameter 8 inch sebesar 86,10%, untuk puli 7 inch yaitu sebesar 50,34%, untuk puli 6 inch yang paling rendah yaitu sebesar 45,96%. Pada efisiensi transmisi yang tertinggi yaitu pada puli 6 sebesar 99,88%, selanjutnya pada puli 7 inch yaitu 98,66%, untuk puli 8 inch yaitu 99,68%. Dengan demikian, pemilihan diameter puli harus mempertimbangkan keseimbangan antara efisiensi penepungan dan efisiensi transmisi.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of variations in pulley diameter on the performance of the Disk Mill FFC-15 type flouring machine, with raw materials in the form of 500 grams of dry corn kernels milled using three variations of pulley diameters of 6 inches, 7 inches, and 8 inches. The results showed that increasing the pulley diameter significantly affected the flouring efficiency. The results of this study on the highest flouring efficiency achieved by an 8 inch diameter pulley of 86.10%, for a 7 inch pulley it was 50.34%, for a 6 inch pulley the lowest was 45.96%. The highest transmission efficiency was on pulley 6 at 99.88%, then on a 7 inch pulley it was 98.66%, for an 8 inch pulley it was 99.68%. Thus, the selection of pulley diameter must consider the balance between flouring efficiency and transmission efficiency. Keywords: Corn Seed, Disc Mill FFC-15, Efficiency, Pulley
