Local people still use traditional equipment which is less in capacity and profit. The objectives of this study are to evaluate both financial and ergonomic of sago mechanical grater at Teluk Wondama. The machine was easy to construct and operate with enough dimensions for matured individual user. The analyses results showed that the mechanical grater is sufficient and profitable enough to be used at sago production with BCR and NPV values at 1.06 and Rp 9.162.000, respectively.
