Tofu is one of the processed soybean products that have a fairly broad market segment. The
process of making tofu is very simple and easy so it is mostly done by small industries and home
industries. The process of making tofu on a household scale is generally still carried out in the
traditional way, especially in the screening process. Filtering is a process that is quite crucial
in making tofu because it will involve the taste, and the quantity and quality of the tofu produced.
The main problem in the small industry of PKM partners makes the production and marketing
process of tofu products which requires a long time and energy, because the filter and presses
used are still conventional. The purpose of the PKM activity to be achieved from the production
side is by applying a soybean pulp and filtrate separator machine that can be operated more
effectively and efficiently. From the marketing management side, namely by providing simple
management training that can be applied to partners and from the marketing side, namely by
promoting to the mass media, banners and improving the packaging system for tofu products.
Specific targets to be achieved; the existence of a soybean grinding machine that separates pulp
and juice, so that the product results are more hygienic, pay more attention to tofu processing
technology for food safety, business management and marketing. The application of the pulp
and peanut filtrate separator machine, it helps partners not to be hampered in the production
process. Through PKM activities, partners obtain a soybean grinding machine that can
separate the pulp and filtrate (cider). With promotions in mass media, through banners and
product packaging systems that are more attractive, products become durable. Increasing the
productivity of partner small industries is expected to increase partner income and business
development in the future.
