Abstract: CERDENIA,ENRIQUE CABRELA JR., Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April, 1992. DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF A PEDAL OPERATED MULTI-CROP CHIPPER Adviser: Engr. Conrado Baltazar. A study was conducted at Alulod, Indang, Cavite to develop, construct and evaluate a pedal operated multi-crop chipper. The chipping machine was constructed for five days with a labor fee of P750.00 The materials for the construction cost P671.00 . All in all the chipping machine cost P1421.00 including the labor fee. Three different crops were used in the evaluation of the machine. The crops were gabi, cassava, and sweet potato. Result showed that chipping capacity greatly varies for the different crops. With the use of the machine the capacities obtained were as follows : for gabi 152.10 kg /hr., for cassava 97.12 kg./hr, and for sweet potato 92.77 kg./hr., while the machine efficiencies were 93% for gabi, 85% for cassava and 83% for sweet potato. The highest chipping capacity was obtained from gabi and the lowest chipping capacity was obtained from the sweet potato. The damaged and undamaged chips were affected by the clearance of the cutting blade . Based on the results there is a need of modifying the angle of steepness of the blade to the direction of cut. Cost analysis of the machine showed relevance to the small scale farmers and producers. It has a payback period of 22.9 days annual net income of P22,170.00, by chipping at eight hours per day.
