Abstract
This paper proposes implementation of electrical batik stove for green batik industry. Batik is the process of writing a picture on a piece of cloth by using wax batik as a color barrier. In the process of making batik, the stove is a very important tool to heat the wax until it melts. The melted wax is used to make a picture with a certain pattern on the white cloth. So far the stove technology used is kerosene-fueled stoves. The stoves produce smoke pollution which disrupts batik production houses. The smoke produced by kerosene stoves contains CO, CO2, NO2, and SO2. In addition, kerosene is often rare and prices tend to be more expensive. Therefore, in this study electrical stove was carried out for the batik production. In implementation, technical and economic analysis has been carried out. Technical analysis is done by comparing the quality of the results of kerosene and electrical batik stove stoves. Furthermore economic analysis is done by comparing the production costs for the two types of batik stoves. The results showed that technically the quality of batik candles melted using electrical stove was better and the temperature was more stable. The results of economic analysis also show that the production costs using electrical stove are much lower.
