Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the food sector still face obstacles at the stage of drying potato oil. This process reduces quality, accelerates cooling, and reduces product shelf life. This research designed a simple centrifugal force-based oil slicing machine with food-grade material that is safe to use. Tests showed the machine was able to lower the oil content by up to 28% in a duration of 60 seconds per cycle, with an adequate capacity of five kilograms of fries. This innovation improves production efficiency, quality, and competitiveness of MSMEs in the processed food industry.
