Indonesia memiliki produksi rempah-rempah tinggi, termasuk pala (Myristica fragrans Houtt) yang menyumbang 70% produksi dunia pada 2023 (68.969 ton dari 275.875 ha). Aceh, khususnya Kabupaten Aceh Selatan (9.740 ha, 5.327 ton), merupakan penghasil utama. Pala berbuah pada umur 7-8 tahun, optimal di 10 tahun, dengan panen dua kali setahun. Buah bulat hijau kekuningan (diameter 3-9 cm), terbelah saat matang, mengandung daging asam dan biji lonjong (1,5-4,5 cm). Prospek cerah karena permintaan industri tinggi, meski pengolahan di UD. Mestika Pala (manisan, sirup, dodol, permen) masih konvensional, lambat, dan tidak seragam.Penelitian merancang alat pengiris daging buah pala membentuk bunga untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Tahapan mencakup: pengkajian latar belakang, rumusan masalah, studi literatur, identifikasi kebutuhan, spesifikasi alat, penyusunan konsep (diagram fungsi, pohon klasifikasi, tabel kombinasi), pengembangan konsep dengan TRIZ (40 kaidah inventif), final konsep, pembuatan prototipe, hasil-pembahasan, hingga kesimpulan. Alat berdimensi 317 x 307 x 400 mm, komponen: rangka, mata pengiris (pola bunga), cover beserta tuas, poros, linear bushing, pegas, base mata pengiris, base sleding, base atas dan base bawah. Manual tanpa listrik, aman, mudah digunakan untuk rumah tangga/industri kecil. Unjuk kerja: irisan identik manisan UD. Mestika Pala, cycle time pengirisan 0,75 detik/buah (4.800 buah/jam). Alat memenuhi fungsi, keamanan, dan permintaan pemilik, meningkatkan efisiensi produksi.

Abstract Indonesia has high spice production, including nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) which accounts for 70% of world production in 2023 (68,969 tons from 275,875 ha). Aceh, especially South Aceh Regency (9,740 ha, 5,327 tons), is the main producer. Nutmeg bears fruit at the age of 7-8 years, optimal at 10 years, with harvesting twice a year. The yellowish-green round fruit (3-9 cm in diameter), split when ripe, contains sour flesh and oval seeds (1.5-4.5 cm). The outlook is bright due to high industrial demand, despite the processing at UD. Mestika Nutmeg (sweets, syrups, dodol, candy) is still conventional, slow, and not uniform. Research designed a nutmeg pulp slicer to form flowers to solve the problem. The stages include: background assessment, problem formulation, literature study, needs identification, tool specifications, concept preparation (function diagram, classification tree, combination table), concept development with TRIZ (40 inventive rules), final concept, prototyping, discussions, and conclusions. The tool has dimensions of 317 x 307 x 400 mm, components: frame, flower-pattern cutting blade, cover complete with a lever, shaft, linear bushing, spring, cutting blade base, sliding base, an upper base, and lower base.. Manual without electricity, safe, easy to use for households/small industries. Pros: Identical slices of UD candy. Nutmeg, slicing cycle time is 0.75 seconds/piece (4,800 pieces/hour). The tool meets the function, safety, and demands of the owner, improving production efficiency. Keywords : tool design, slicing tool, press mechanism, TRIZ
