Introduction

Batangas is one of the provinces that have many business in extracting products. There are many
farms in batangas. But a lot of business in batangas are using manual extracting in their products and their
operations are time consuming. The time are very important in business.

Honeybee multi-purpose cooperative in sitio pandayanr5, brgy. Malabanan balete batangas, is a

cooperative or group of people is one of the producers of honey in batangas. They are also exracting
honey. And their extracting process is manually operated, they are using pail and a cloth to extract the
honey. And it takes two days to totally extract the honey.

Objectives of the study

This study focused on the design and development of semi-automated multipurpose extractor
machine.

Specifically, the study aimed to achieve the following:

1. To design and develop a semi-automated multi-purpose extractor machine using locally available
materials.

2. To test and evaluate the performance of the project in terms of:

2.1 efficiency

2.2 usefulness

2.3 safety; and

3. To develop operational manual of the completed project.

Scope, limitation and delimitation of the study

This study mainly focused on the design that covered the conceptualizing, planning and
constructing of semi-automated multipurpose extractor machine. They included the materials and tools,
procedures and fabrication of the design layout and estimated cost of fabrication for the project. The
researchers also considered all the design aspects including the size, shape, and procedures of the
operator.

The machine was fabricated is to extract not only honey but also coconut milk and fruit juices by
the use of motor control. The study involved features that provide ease on extracting. This included the
evaluation of the apparatus and the use of appropriate materials in identifying the specification, system
components, and method of construction and assembly. The study was limited to the design and
development of an extractor intended for maximizing productivity. In addition to this, cost analysis was
done to determine the financial viability of the project. To achieve this, ideas were formulated and further
researchers were significant in the completion of the study.
Conceptual framework

The conceptual framework showed the design and development of the semi-automated
multipurpose extractor machine. In order to come up with the project, the input process output model
was used in the study.

The input was referred to the background information, references, tools, and equipment, supplies
and materials which were needed in the study. The procedure or the methodology of the project was
conceptualized. In this study capability of researchers was also evaluated.

Process referred to the method which involved conceptualizing, planning, designing, or lay-out,
constructing and testing. Designing the project layout was considered first. Estimation and financial
analyses were also taken into account. Finally, the output was the finished project, the semi-automated
multipurpose extractor machine.
