Abstract: ASTILLA, RODERICK JAY PARAGELE, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang Cavite, April 1992 “ DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION AND EVALUATION OF MANUALLY OPERATED PINE APPLE SLICER” ADVISRR: Camilo A. Polinga The main concern in the development of this machine was to come up with a pineapple slicer which requires less manpower, shorter time of operation and higher efficiency as compared to the traditional method of cutting the pineapple. The machine consists of four principal components, name I Y: The cylinder, the horizontal blade, the vertical blade, and the rectangular outlet. Results showed that the capacity of the designed machine was significantly higher compared to the traditional method (which was by hand with an ordinary knife). The designed machine has a capacity of 1. 07 piece of pineapple per minute while the traditional method has only 0.54 piece of pineapple per minute. In addition, the designed machine has a relative efficiency of 198 % over the traditional method. But the slicing efficiency of the designed machine was much lower than the traditional method assuming that its efficiency was 100 The performance of the pineapple slicer was dependent on the operator, the size and the ripeness of the pineapple, and the sharpness of the two blades involved. The total amount spent in constructing this kind of machine was P2, 3770 000

The main concern in the development of this machine was to come up with a pineapple slicer which requires less manpower, shorter time of operation and higher efficiency as compared to the traditional method of cutting the pineapple.
The machine consists of four principal components, name I Y: The cylinder, the horizontal blade, the vertical blade, and the rectangular outlet.
Results showed that the capacity of the designed machine was significantly higher compared to the traditional method (which was by hand with an ordinary knife). The designed machine has a capacity of 1. 07 piece of pineapple per minute while the traditional method has only 0.54 piece of pineapple per minute. In addition, the designed machine has a relative efficiency of 198 % over the traditional method. But the slicing efficiency of the designed machine was much lower than the traditional method assuming that its efficiency was 100 The performance of the pineapple slicer was dependent on the operator, the size and the ripeness of the pineapple, and the sharpness of the two blades involved.
The total amount spent in constructing this kind of
machine was P2, 3770 000
