Most of these, if not, all of these are stuffed with different kinds of cotton - and silk-cotton or commonly known as kayo is one of it. This study aims to fabricate a machine that separates kayo seeds from its fiber. This machine was built from an idea and a concern. Idea to revolutionize the cotton industry through the use of an underrated cotton material - kayo. And the concern that kayo plants are being disregarded despite its potential to rival the cotton plant. However, separating its seeds can be time intensive, therefore the creation of this machine. This machine utilizes rotation mechanism to separate its seeds and an internal fan to push the separated cotton to the discharge zone.
