Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Leafy-vegetable strippers are kitchen tools used to remove the outer layer of
somevegetables. Removing is an important preliminary stage of fruit and vegetable processing.
Manualpeeling is possible for any of product but high losses and considerable consumption of
time andlabour have encouraged the removing industry to use other methods (Luh & Woodroof,
1988).Moreover, there are no research innovative advancements yet discovered in stripping
moringaleaves and even looking for a tool that may simplify to strip it faster is hard to find but
this studywould reveal one. The Moringa Leaf Stripper is a device that will help lessen time in
strippingmoringa leaves from its stalk. The design and operation were originally
innovated by theresearchers to have a fast and efficient way of stripping moringa leaves from its
stalk. Since it is aconvenient tool, it can cater moringa leaves that needs to be stripped.
Traditionally, stripping moringa leaves by the use of our bare hands has been inherited
fora long time. This has been practiced for many decades that a few today may have thought of it
asan uncomfortable way of stripping moringa leaves manually. It would really take more time
justto have a finished product ready to be served. According to
Bregman (2017), “consuming less starts with working less.” This would support to the
problems encountered with the traditional way of stripping moringa leaves from its stalk.
Approaching the ideal stripping method through trial and error is difficult and
timeconsuming. The design of new methods and improvement of current stripping methods to
achievethe ideal removing conditions is one of the objectives of the researchers.
Depending on theproposed technique, different properties of products have been applied to
improve the efficiency

2
of purposed stripping methods or devices. The investigation of concepts for new stripping
methodsand development of design recommendations for stripping of moringa leaves from its
stalk is achallenging task in this research. The invention seeks to achieve even removing
efficiency fromdifferent areas of uneven surfaced products with minimum stripping losses.
However, with this newly invented device, it will surely be beneficial to consumers as
ithelps them save more of their time in preparing moringa leaves, as one of the
ingredients incooking, fast and easy.
Objectives of the Study
This research develops new method and tool for stripping moringa leaves from
itsstalk. The main objectives of the research are as follows:
1. Design and fabricate Moringa Leaf Stripper;
2. Revise defects found during testing; and
3. Test the functionality of Moringa Leaf Stripper in terms of
effectiveness,operating performance and safety.
Significance of the Study
Designing and fabricating “MORINGA LEAF STRIPPER” is the main contribution of
thisstudy. The development of method and tool leads to the provision of necessary and
industriallyapplicable knowledge for the design and fabrication of the proposed moringa leaf
stripper. In usingsuch tool, it is highly considered to make sure it is safe and relevant to
consumers.
Furthermore, this study contributes additional information to serve the
followingindividuals and organization.

CHAPTER
IICONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
This chapter includes the analysis of the problem, review of related literatures and
studiesthat can be used as basis for creating a moringa leaf stripper, the closest prior arts, the
theoreticalframework and conceptual model of the study which will explain the path of a
research andgrounds it firmly in theoretical constructs, and the definition of technical terms that
are being usedin this study.
Analysis of the Problem
Tools and methods for use in stripping moringa leaves from its stalk have significant
roleto consumers. The use of a tool generally helps the user comfortably perform in stripping
moringaleaves from its stalk.
Traditionally, people use their hands to manually remove moringa leaves from its
stalkwhich can cost a lot of time. However, researchers innovated a tool which lessens the hassle
wayof stripping moringa leaves and made sure it can cater the needs of the community.
Review of Related Literatures and Studies
The project study cited a numerous old existing device found in patented documents
interms of stripping. In addition, with the use of the existing devices, the researchers
benchmarkedin the conceptualization of a new idea and new edition of devices that could
improve and provideconvenience in work, particularly in stripping moringa leaves from its stalk.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,168,643 to Mercier discloses a leaf stripper machine having a grille
framewhich is disposed a rotatable cutting blade for cutting leaves. The stripper includes
a vaneextending from the blade and configured to create a vacuum for sucking leaves through
the grilleframe.
5
Canadian Patent No. 2,485,336 to Bonny et al. discloses a leaf stripper machine having
agrille frame which is disposed a rotatable knife for cutting leaves. The stripper includes a
turbineconfigured to suck leaves through the grille frame and eject the leaves outwards and away
fromthe stripper.
Each of the above machines may suffer disadvantages. For example, the machines
maysuffer the disadvantage of having plant parts and resin adhere to the cutting blades. In such
casesthis may inhibit the sunctioning and cutting ability and thus operation of the
machine. Suchmachines may need to be regularly cleaned and it may be relatively time
consuming to have tostop the operation of the machine to clean the blades before continuing.
The use of blades per se may be dangerous if one’s fingers accidentally touch the
bladeswhile the machine is in operation. The need to insert one’s hands into the machine shown
by Bonnyet al. to where the turbine is located to further clean the machine of trapped leaves may
render
this operation very dangerous if someone was to turn power back on by accident. If an object
suchas a metal object is dropped through the grille, the blades might cut it and send shredded
metalparts flying through the air, yet further increasing the risks of injury to the operator.
These machines may be relatively difficult to operate. For example, the operator may
berequired to rotate the plant along the grille with one hand while putting pressure on the plant
withthe other hand. The use of the turbine in the machine shown in Bonny et al. may cause a
relativelylarge amount of noise, rendering it more difficult for the operator of the
machine to hear orcommunicate. These machines may be relatively onerous to maintain.
The machine shown inBonny et al. may have a checker plate and a collector bag connected to
its turbine, and leaves mayget trapped within the machine’s checker plate. In such cases, the
collector bag must be removedin addition to the checker plate in order to clear said trapped
leaves. Blades need to be periodically

6
sharpened and, in such cases, the machines may need to be fully disassembled in order to
accessthe blades.
The cutting and sunctioning aspects of these machines require a relatively large number
ofparts. Each of the above machines may be limited in their adjustability, which may otherwise
beuseful to accommodate different varieties of plant species whose leaves are to be stripped.
There is, accordingly, a need for a leaf stripper that overcomes the above disadvantages
ofthe known prior art.

Theoretical Framework
This research was based on the invention, relating to a device for stripping
moringaleaves. Thus, this study is anchored on the theories of stripping process and
schwazzing inthe field.
Stripping Process, as stated by Ryun & Jossem, (2017), is commonly used
inindustrial applications where one or more components are removed. The main function
ofthe stripper is to strip the stock material off the punches after each stroke.
Schwazzing as highlighted by Haupt (2015), emphasized that defoliation is
theterm usually assigned to the practice of clipping off a few leaves, but a new term has
beendeveloped for fully stripping a plant of its leaves, named schwazzing.
In relation to Moringa Leaf Stripper, the common problem of the users is findinga
right leaf stripping device that would eliminate the traditional way of stripping
moringaleaves from its stalk. An individual of ordinary skills in the art, having
reviewed thisdisclosure, will proximately escalate those various changes could be
completed to theparticulars defined and revealed in this disclosure without differing
from the spirit of theinvention.
To the user who wants to strip and produce a healthier product, Moringa
LeafStripper is designed to make the stripping process fast and easy of stripping moringa
leavesfrom its stalk.

Testing and Revision Phase

20
This portion discusses the testing and revision of the new technology for a
betteroutput design. As such, the scope of the invention, when tested, was revised.
Duringtesting, the researchers found out that without the existence of a receptacle, it
would bedifficult and hassle to use because some leaves were wasted. However, through
trial anderror, the researchers added and tried to install a receptacle which resulted to an
easier andmore comfortable way of manipulating the device.
Further, Table 5 below shows the reasons that led to the revision of the technology.

Evaluation Phase
This section presents the research design, research instrument, data
gatheringprocedure, and the statistical treatment.
Research Design
This study adapted the developmental- experimental research design that
usesquantitative research methods. This design has been defined as the systematic
study ofdesigning, developing, and evaluating instructional programs, processes, and
effectiveness(Richey, 2005).
The study used survey method which aims to collect information from a sample
ofindividuals through their responses to questions (Check & Schutt, 2012). Moreover, the
21
researchers used purposive sampling method to determine 30 respondents to evaluate
theinnovation and would provide quantifiable information for statistical analysis of
thepopulation sample.
Research Instrument
The instrument used in this study was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting
aset of questions or other types of prompts which were used to collect information from
arespondent. A questionnaire is the instrument used for collecting the primary data
(Cohen,
2013). This instrument is used to validate mainly the customer service feedback, opinion
polls, etc. (O’Leary, 2014).
The researchers’ survey questionnaire used to evaluate the effectiveness,
operatingperformance, and safety of the technology. After the researchers originally
created thesurvey questionnaire, it was checked and approved by the researchers’
adviser and waspilot-tested which revealed a mean of 4.91 that means the instrument was
very good.
In this study, the survey questionnaire was intended to validate the
effectiveness,functionality, and safety of the project. For every variable, there are ten
respective itemsconducted and their responses had the following values.
