pnm.ac.id– The BIMA Madiun State Polytechnic (PNM) Community Service Team (PKM) has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting local breeders. Through the PKM Community Based Empowerment scheme in 2025, the BIMA PKM Team initiated a program entitled "Strengthening the Madiun Nedyo Rahayu Dairy Cattle Farmer Group through Automatic Pasteurization Innovation and Digital Ordering System Integration".
The BIMA PKM team was chaired by Aulia El Hakim (Computer Control Engineering Study Program) and supported by other lecturers, namely R. Gaguk Pratama Yudha (Automation Engineering Technology Study Program) and Nanang Romandoni (Automotive Engineering Technology Study Program) and involved two students from the Computer Control Engineering Study Program and two students from the Automation Engineering Technology Study Program.
The program organized by the Madiun State Polytechnic together with the Directorate of Research and Community Service, Directorate General of Research and Development, Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology was implemented in Kresek Village, Wungu District, Madiun Regency.
Through this program, the BIMA PNM PKM Team donated an Automatic Milk Pasteurization Machine Based on a Water Jacket Heating System as well as providing training regarding how to implement it. Apart from that, the BIMA PKM Team also assisted the Nedyo Rahayu Madiun Dairy Cattle Farmer Group in implementing a digital ordering system.
Innovation of Automatic Milk Pasteurization Machine Based on Water Jacket Heating System
The Nedyo Rahayu Madiun Dairy Cattle Farmer Group is facing a major production problem, namely limited pasteurization equipment which is still manual. Aulia explained that the pasteurization process is usually carried out using a pan and gas stove with a maximum capacity of only five (5) liters of milk per process. In this way, partners are only able to complete several processes in one day.
"So when there is a surge in demand, such as orders from school events or government and private agencies, production is unable to keep up with market needs." Aulia explained.
This production problem was the background for the BIMA PKM Team to innovate to create an Automatic Milk Pasteurization Machine Based on a Water Jacket Heating System. The machine is designed usingwater jacket systemor indirect heating system. This technology uses water as a heat medium so that it can maintain temperature stability and avoid burning of the milk at the bottom of the tube.
This automatic pasteurization machine has a medium capacity of 20 liters perbatch/process. With this machine the farmer group will be able to process a minimum of 80 liters of milk per day with four processes/batch, replacing a manual system that can only process five (5) liters perbatch.
"Apart from increasing time and energy efficiency, the use of this automatic system also minimizes the risk of contamination and produces pasteurized milk that is more hygienic, long-lasting and meets food safety standards." Aulia said.
Aulia hopes that the Automatic Milk Pasteurization Machine Based on a Water Jacket Heating System can provide sustainable benefits for farmer groups.
"In the future, Madiun State Polytechnic will also prepare other technologies that can support milk production in the Madiun area," he explained.
Digital Ordering System Integration
Not only providing automatic pasteurization machines to support the productivity of livestock farmer groups, the BIMA PKM Team also provides reinforcement in the digital-based ordering system.
Previously, livestock farming groups still used conventional and undocumented methods. For this reason, the BIMA PKM Team implements an ordering system based on WhatsApp Business and Google Forms.
“Partners are helped to create business accounts, digital product catalogs and order formsonlinethat can be shared with customers.” Aulia explained.
Furthermore, the system allows automatic recording of every incoming order, including customer name, purchase amount, address, and delivery schedule.
Through Google Forms connected to Google Sheets, you can record order data directlyreal time."Partners can easily see demand trends, stock requirements, and plan distribution." Aulia said.
Aulia also hopes that in the next service program there will be the use of AI Automation in digital transaction processes. *(Public Relations Team/PIP PNM)
