Lemang rotating machine is a tool that function to hold and rotate the lemang which aims to still maintain the original and traditional way in the process of making lemang . An existing cooking process still employs manual procedures, particularly for rotating the bamboo, which is hazardous to the hand. So, the level of safety will be increase when cooking the lemang. Basically, the time taken to make sure lemang are cooking perfectly is 6 - 8 hours and need a higher skill for the production. The main material for this machine is mild steel because it is lightweight and have a high temperature resistance that have high melting point. Besides that, lemang did not have a specific tool to manage when cooking lemang. Next, we discovered that the seller's hands felt the heat of the flames and might have caused harm even while wearing gloves. Our objectives due to this machine is to produce tools that can hold and rotate the lemang. A few concepts have been applied to make this machine completely function. The concept is a holder cup that function to hold the hold the bamboo when rotate. The combination of gear, chain and motor will be the main thing for rotating function . For the result , by employing this rotating machine, we do not have to rotate bamboo while the cooking process is taking place, allowing the process to run safely.
