Abstract
Tofu is one of Indonesias special foods made from fermented soybean juice. There are several processes in making tofu. One of them is the process of filtering the juice with soybean waste. The filtering process will determine the quality and quantity of tofu. The better filtering process, the more juice are produced. The purpose of this study is to improve the results of the soybean pulp filtering process. One way is to use an induction motor for a spinner filter machine with adjustable speed. To set the speed is using VSD as a motor driver. VSD output is a frequency that can be used to regulate the speed of the induction motor. Determination of motor speed is using the PI Ziegler-Nichols oscillation tuning method so that a stable motor rotation speed in 700rpm with number of Kp = 0.0108 and Ki = 0.083. Under research conditions 1 liter of soybean pulp can be needed for a spinner time of 27 seconds.
