Abstract: UMÄLI, EDLYN ANCHOREZ.Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. 'Development and Evaluation of a Screw—Press Cacao Pod Breaker”.Adviser: Engr. Leyma Cero. The study 'Development and Evaluation of a Screw—Press Cacao Pod Breaker”, was conducted at the Crop ProcessingLaboratory of the School of Engineering, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from December 1996 to March 1997. Specifically, it aimed to develop and construct a screw—press cacao pod breaker that will minimize labor requirement and shorten time of breaking, evaluate the performance of the machi ne and determine its cost and return. The machine was composed of the following parts:the screw—press mechanism, the frame and stand which support theplate and the tray which served as the holder of the cacao pods. Results showed that the capacity of the designedmachine was not significant compared to the traditional method which makes use of knife to break the pod. The designed machine had a mean capacity and breaking efficiency of 172.89 pods per hour and 62.5 percent, respectively. In addition, the traditional method had a relative advantage of 80 .88 percent over the designed machine. The cost of the constructed screw—press cacao pod breaker amounted to P 5,000.00 with a payback period of 3.65years and the break-even point and break-even use was 25, 666. 67 pods per year and 148. 46 hours per year, respectively

UMÄLI, EDLYN ANCHOREZ.Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. 'Development and Evaluation of a Screw—Press Cacao Pod Breaker”.Adviser: Engr. Leyma Cero.

The study 'Development and Evaluation of a Screw—Press Cacao Pod Breaker”, was conducted at the Crop ProcessingLaboratory of the School of Engineering, Don Severino
Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from December 1996 to March 1997. Specifically, it aimed to develop and construct a screw—press cacao pod breaker that will minimize labor requirement and shorten time of breaking, evaluate the performance of the machi ne and determine its cost and return.
The machine was composed of the following parts:the screw—press mechanism, the frame and stand which support theplate and the tray which served as the holder of the cacao
pods.
Results showed that the capacity of the designedmachine was not significant compared to the traditional method which makes use of knife to break the pod. The designed machine had a mean capacity and breaking efficiency of 172.89 pods per hour and 62.5 percent, respectively. In addition, the traditional method had a relative advantage of 80 .88 percent over the designed machine.
The cost of the constructed screw—press cacao pod breaker amounted to P 5,000.00 with a payback period of 3.65years and the break-even point and break-even use was 25, 666. 67 pods per year and 148. 46 hours per year, respectively
