 INTRODUCTION

• Chicken feather is a substantial substitute ingredient to

the plastic production, providing a high micro
crystalline with 90% protein composition which is the
main element of beta keratin, offering a similar
property to polypropylene
 Literary Review

• The extraction of keratin present in the feather can

produce a plastic films by mixing 2% of glycerol
content to the keratin solution, and stirred for 5 hours at
60 degrees Celsius. The keratin mixture was dried in
oven at 60 degrees Celsius over a day.
• polymer extruder machine melts the polymer and
pressurized it. The main components of this machine are
drivetrain, electric motors, barrel die, heating system,
cooling system, feeder, screw, and sensors for temperature
and pressure.
 Statement of the Problem

•Due to the separate process of grinding, stirring, drying of keratin

mixture, and transforming the product into a bio-pellet,
• it requires too much time and money in four separate process and
equipment. In addition, due to the four separate processes, it
requires additional manpower to transfer and supervise the
keratin mixture bioplastic into the polymer extruder machine.
 Objectives

• This study aims to utilize the waste chicken feather and minimize the time
and cost of production. The main objectives of this study are to
• (1) design a 4-in-1 chicken feather waste bioplastic pellet machine,
• (2) fabricate a machine that are able to produce bioplastic pellet from chicken
feather waste,
• (3) to determine the total production time in making the chicken feather
bioplastic pellet
 Scope and Limitation

• The study focuses on designing and fabricating a 4-in-1 chicken feather

waste bioplastic pellet machine that only includes the following processes:
grinding, stirring, drying, and transforming into a bioplastic pellet. The study
will be conducted in Davao Region only and the materials to be used for
fabrication and production.
