Summary: Biomass fuels like wood, coconut husks, and agricultural residues are vital as they are among the largest primary energy sources, including coal. In the Philippines, biomass- based charcoal is widely used for cooking, arts, and energy. However, the traditional process of producing charcoal is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and comes with multiple risks to the human health and environment due to lack of equipment provided. This study developed a pulverizing machine to improve the production process of pulverizing machine of carbonated coconut husks, organic materials, and water hyacinth (water lilies) by offering increased efficiency and reliability. This study successfully creates a machine that grinds 153 to 178.49 kilograms of charcoal in one hour, which may adversely affect the quality of powdered charcoal. The machine is operated using a hammer system in pulverization, together with a dust trap for low emission and safer working condition. It is made of solid and stainless-steel materials to ensure its durability and maintain performance at high operational demands. The performance test showed that the machine could pulverize varying quantities of charcoal within given time ranges, which shows how flexible and capable it is of high-volume production. In addition, the incorporation of a motor controller also helped make the machine easier to use, allowing better control during operation. The prototype was rated highly with 4.61. This pulverizing machine can be concluded to be the practical solution for small businesses that produce briquettes in terms of quality, user safety, and support for sustainable energy practices.

Biomass fuels like wood, coconut husks, and agricultural residues are vital as they are

among the largest primary energy sources, including coal. In the Philippines, biomass-
based charcoal is widely used for cooking, arts, and energy. However, the traditional

process of producing charcoal is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and comes with multiple
risks to the human health and environment due to lack of equipment provided. This study
developed a pulverizing machine to improve the production process of pulverizing machine
of carbonated coconut husks, organic materials, and water hyacinth (water lilies) by
offering increased efficiency and reliability. This study successfully creates a machine that
grinds 153 to 178.49 kilograms of charcoal in one hour, which may adversely affect the
quality of powdered charcoal. The machine is operated using a hammer system in
pulverization, together with a dust trap for low emission and safer working condition. It is
made of solid and stainless-steel materials to ensure its durability and maintain
performance at high operational demands. The performance test showed that the machine
could pulverize varying quantities of charcoal within given time ranges, which shows how
flexible and capable it is of high-volume production. In addition, the incorporation of a
motor controller also helped make the machine easier to use, allowing better control during
operation. The prototype was rated highly with 4.61. This pulverizing machine can be
concluded to be the practical solution for small businesses that produce briquettes in terms
of quality, user safety, and support for sustainable energy practices.
