Abstract

Koperasi Wahana Mandiri Indonesia (WMI) produces processed herbal products with a processing house for spices such as red ginger, emprit ginger, turmeric, and temu lawak. One of the problems faced by Koperasi WMI is the limited drying capacity. The community service project conducted by Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) aims to increase the production of processed spices of  Koperasi WMI by applying multilevel trays and dryness detection devices on solar dome dryers. The project unfolded in three stages: preparation, implementation, and mentoring. This activity empowers 11 members of the Koperasi WMI and involves MPM PWM DIY and MPM PDM Kulonprogo as collaborator partners who will assist and ensure the program's sustainability. The main activity is to apply technology by constructing multilevel trays and drought detectors. After the tray was made, training on the integrated multilevel tray with drought detector was conducted. The drought detector was simulated to determine the indicator that will light up when the dried material is completely dry with a moisture content of less than or equal to 12%. This activity has successfully installed multilevel trays and drought-detection devices. The construction of the multilevel trays succeeds in processing spices of Koperasi WMI from 200 kg to 400 kg.
