A tart pressure prototype model which combines mechanical and electrical performance of a semi-automatic tart pressure machine has been created successfully. This prototype solves the electrical equations and mechanical equations providing the values required for shaft, torque, tensile strength, power and the others. This machine is called semi-automatic because it still required human energy for making the dough and removing the mold. However, this product has improvement in terms of time consumption, productivity and portability. Other than that, this machine also can improve the quality of the tart shell since it is not easier to get the same thickness for every tart shell when doing manually. So, with help by this machine, the quality of the tart shell can be improved. This machine uses kinetic energy that has being converted from electrical energy. This machine operates by using the power window motors connected to the AC/DC power supply from one side of the machine. When the push button is pushed downward, the energy is transferred from the power supply to the power window motors. Then, these motors rotate the shafts and the tart shell is shaped. Semi-Automatic Tart Pressure Machine has a lot of strength that very useful for human life. In addition, this project is aimed to help small entrepreneur to increase their income especially in Johor. It is because Johor famous with Industri Kecil Sederhana (IKS), so this machine can help them to improve their product and develop their business
