Abstract: ALMERIA, CHRISTEL JOY V. and CUARTEROS, FRANCIS JEROME V. Development of an Automated Pineapple Peeling, Coring and Slicing Machine. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Mrs. Florence M. Banasihan. The study was conducted from November 2017 to April 2019 at Cavite State University, Indang Cavite to develop an automated pineapple peeling, coring and slicing machine. Specifically, it aimed to: 1. design and construct the control unit of the system; 2. design and fabricate an automated pineapple peeling, coring, and slicing machine; 3. develop a software for the system; 4. test and evaluate the systems' performance through pilot testing; and 5. conduct a cost analysis of the system. The project aimed to create a machine that would automatically peel, core and slice pineapples and promotes uniformity on produced output. It was developed to address the need for economical postharvest processing machines, help small-scaled fruit operators and/or small-medium enterprises (SMEs) and benefit the growing sector of the food and export industry. The machine was composed of input bin, the rotating barrel, peeling and coring unit and slicing unit. The materials used in the study were: microcontroller unit, AC and DC motors, servo motor, pneumatics cylinders, pneumatic and solenoid valves, capacitive sensors, limit switches, and relays. Integration of various cutting blades in a single automatic machine were the innovation developed for the system. Result of the evaluation showed that it was faster than that of the manual process. The quality of output was also acceptable based on visual inspection done. Records showed that the slicing efficiency was not very efficient as the manual process. The study was proven effective on its capability to meet its objective. The automated pineapple peeling, coring and slicing machine had a total cost of P70,108.00.
