Abstract: MOJICA, MICKAELLA PEARL D. and NIOGAN, LEANARD R. Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of Pepper Thresher. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, June 2019. Adviser: Engr. Kevin P. Titiwa. The study was conducted to design, fabricate, and evaluate black pepper thresher. The study evaluated the operating performance of the fabricated pepper thresher in terms of threshing capacity, threshing efficiency, threshing recovery, and power consumption. The device was fabricated using locally available materials. Its overall dimension is 148 cm x 76 cm x 97 cm (LxWxH). The device has eight major components, namely: hopper_ threshing cylinder. rotating shaft, blower. sieve assembly, prime mover, frame, and discharge chute. The working performance of the machine was evaluated using three treatments, considering rotating shaft speed of 580 rpm, 450 rpm and 375 rpm with three replications each and was analyzed using Complete Randomized Design. Duncans's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used for the comparison of treatment means. Results showed that the engine speed of 375 rpm had the highest threshing recovery of 97.41 percent, followed by 450 rpm and 580 rpm with a values of 96.80 percent and 95.66 percent, respectively. The statistical analysis indicated that the threshing recovery of the rotating shaft of 375 rpm and 450 rpm were significantly different from 580 rpm. Other parameters like threshing capacity, input capacity, threshing efficiency and power consumption for all treatments were found to be not significantly affected by the different rotating shaft. Based on the pepper thresher cost of P 29,955.00 covering materials and labor and a capacity of 62.61kg per hour, simple cost analysis of this study yielded a breakeven point of 5,631.17 kg per year based on the cost of threshing pepper of P 4.95 per kilogram as the custom rate. Furthermore, the cost analysis also indicated a payback period of 0.60 years for the pepper thresher cost

The study was conducted to design, fabricate, and evaluate black pepper thresher. The
study evaluated the operating performance of the fabricated pepper thresher in terms of
threshing capacity, threshing efficiency, threshing recovery, and power consumption. The device
was fabricated using locally available materials. Its overall dimension is 148 cm x 76 cm x 97 cm
(LxWxH). The device has eight major components, namely: hopper_ threshing cylinder. rotating
shaft, blower. sieve assembly, prime mover, frame, and discharge chute. The working
performance of the machine was evaluated using three treatments, considering rotating shaft
speed of 580 rpm, 450 rpm and 375 rpm with three replications each and was analyzed using
Complete Randomized Design. Duncans's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used for the
comparison of treatment means. Results showed that the engine speed of 375 rpm had the
highest threshing recovery of 97.41 percent, followed by 450 rpm and 580 rpm with a values of
96.80 percent and 95.66 percent, respectively. The statistical analysis indicated that the
threshing recovery of the rotating shaft of 375 rpm and 450 rpm were significantly different from
580 rpm. Other parameters like threshing capacity, input capacity, threshing efficiency and
power consumption for all treatments were found to be not significantly affected by the different
rotating shaft.
Based on the pepper thresher cost of P 29,955.00 covering materials and labor and a
