Innovation of batik fixation machine with Pahl and Beitz methods.

The fixation process is a color locking process with chemical liquids in batik process. Waterglass is one of chemical liquid that is applied to dyed fabrics. The use of waterglass on fabrics is currently in 2 ways, they are with sponge brushing method and with dipping into reservoir of waterglass. Application by sponge brushing has the advantage efficient in using of waterglass but inefficient processing time. The application by dipping directly in the reservoir has the advantage efficient in processing time, but wasteful in using of waterglass. By using the Pahl and Beitz method, a fixation machine designed with more efficient in processing time and efficient in the using of waterglass. The process off Pahl and Beitz method are Plan and Explanation of Tasks, Product Concept Design, Product Shape Design, and Product detail design. A fixation machine with a cloth grinder was produced that worked in conjunction with flushing recycle waterglass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
