This study, Development of Semi-Automatic Air Dryer Unit Assembler aims to replace the
old mechanized equipment being used in assembling and disassembling the ADU. This
project provides a more manageable process using the elements of the electro-pneumatic
system. The electro-pneumatic valves were used for the project’s control system. The
cylinder was used to clamp the ADU canister. The body was fabricated using mild steel to
ensure sturdy support during operation. The equipment is capable of pressing and holding
the Air Dryer Unit in place during the procedure through its electro-pneumatic components.
The testing and evaluation of the project was conducted at the Heavy Maintenance of LRT
line 2 in Pasig City. Tests were performed to determine the performance of the project in
terms of its clamping ability with the use of an actual Air Dryer Unit provided by LRT line
2. Researchers were able to get positive results from numerous tests conducted. Results
have presented that the project was able to hold, disassemble, and assemble the Air Dryer
Unit effectively. The evaluation results on the acceptability of the project gathered an
overall mean of 4.77 with a descriptive rating of “Highly Acceptable” which showed that
all criteria were met. This only proves that the prototype is easy to manipulate,
environmental-friendly and is beneficial to LRT line 2 technicians especially those who
are at the Heavy Maintenance Section.
