Food waste poses a significant threat to the environment and natural resources due to its
reliance on landfills for disposal. These wastes attract BSF maggots, as they are drawn to
organic materials that provide rich nutrients. BSF maggots consume food waste and can
serve as an alternative protein feed, while their frass can be used as fertilizer. The main
objective of this study is to develop a machine that addresses traditional food waste
disposal methods and the labor-intensive process of manually separating maggots from
frass. This was achieved by using the hammermill principle on the shredder to break down
food waste into smaller particles for larvae consumption, while the reciprocating sieve
separates BSF maggot from frass using the slider-crank mechanism. The integration of
motor control enhances the machine's performance, user-friendliness and safety. Test
results showed that the shredder efficiently processes 20 kg of food waste in 11:49 minutes,
achieving an output rate of 93%. Meanwhile, the BSF maggot sieve processes 20 kg of
maggots in 22:31 minutes, achieving an efficiency rate of 95%. The machine also
demonstrates efficient power consumption, making it highly economical. The prototype
was evaluated by 35 evaluators to determine its performance. The prototype achieved an
overall mean score of 4.74, with a descriptive rating of "Excellent." Based on the evaluation
and findings, this study can assist BSF practitioners and farmers in efficiently shredding
food waste into fine particles for efficient BSF digestion and sieving the BSFL from its
frass, providing clean maggots as required by customers.
