Mulieng crackers are one of Aceh's most famous and widely produced foods in the Pidie district. Because the chips in this area have a distinctive taste, the taste is different from the chips produced in the Sumatran area. However, the entrepreneurs of the mulieng home industry crackers are still very traditional in their production process. Still using simple tools, so it takes a lot of time, even though the market demand is very high. For this reason, innovation is needed so that time more efficient production and improved product quality. In this study, researchers tried to create a mulieng cracker printing machine to help mulieng cracker craftsmen in Pidie district. The mulieng cracker printer has several working principles including the following (1) the mulieng cracker printer uses a hydraulic press system. (2) The electric motor used is 0.5HP/0.37KW with a rotation of 1400 rpm. (3) The cylinder bore diameter is 40mm for the melinjo press process, with a maximum working pressure of 16 Mpa.
