TI  - Semi-automated coconut milk extractor machine
N1  - Undergraduate Thesis (BSME) - Mechanical Engineering; Includes bibliographical references
N2  - The study employed a Descriptive and Developmental methodology to address the
design, fabrication, and automation aspects of the semi-automated Coconut Milk Extractor.
This approach involved systematically describing and developing the machine while
assessing its performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in comparison to manual
extraction methods. By utilizing locally available materials and considering specific
component specifications, the study aimed to optimize the machine's functionality and
minimize production costs, which took only ₱28,047.74. The study evaluated it is overall
performance in terms of its yield efficiency and cost. In order to have and achieve a more
functional and effective device, the following recommendation is considered. Make the
power source safer and more reliable, such as adding an exhaust fan on the power box
where the batteries and power supply are placed to reduce the heat produced by the power
supply. Improve the user interface by adding functions that enable its user to decide on the
freedom to choose what food product the user desires to process. Make the machine fully
automated, such as adding a function or feature that better integrates coconut meat along
with the coconut milk extractor. Consider adding a vendo machine feature to make the
machine more profitable. Consider trying other food products such as papaya, ginger,
cassava, etc
