Summary, etc. Plastic waste is one of the biggest problems in the environment today because it is hard to<br/>dispose of and takes up too much space in landfills. This study was made to design, build,<br/>and test a densifier machine with a motor-controlled mixer that can help reduce the volume<br/>of soft plastic waste such as bottles, wrappers, and foams. A review of related studies<br/>showed that densification is an effective way to manage waste by making materials more<br/>compact and easier to store, move, and recycle. This guided the researchers in creating a<br/>machine that uses heat and mixing to melt plastics into smaller and solid forms. The<br/>machine was built using stainless steel, cast iron, and other locally available materials. It<br/>has five main parts: the densification chamber, motor-controlled mixer, burner, cooling<br/>system, and base. The motor-powered mixer was designed to keep the melted plastic mixed<br/>evenly without manual work. The machine was tested using PET bottles, polystyrene foam,<br/>and LDPE plastics. Results showed that the melting time ranged from 3 to 18 minutes<br/>depending on the type and weight of the plastic. The evaluation of the machine was done<br/>using six criteria: functionality, durability, workability, safety, appearance, and cost. The<br/>ratings were from Very Good to Excellent.<br/>The study concluded that the densifier machine with motor-controlled mixer is effective in<br/>reducing the size of soft plastic waste. It is safe, easy to use, and affordable to build. The<br/>machine is a useful tool for small-scale waste management and recycling.<br/>Keywords: plastic waste, densifier machine, motor-controlled mixer, recycling, soft<br/>plastics, waste management
