Doypacks are commonly use around the world when it comes to food packaging such as
junk foods, condiments, and other fruit beverages. However, the usage of doypacks is being
criticized because of environmental issue particularly on improper disposal. The Kabalikat
sa Kaunlaran ng Baseco Inc. recycle doypacks with the process of manually cutting, folding
and weaving process to make it into new reusable materials like fashionable bags, wallets,
and sleep mats or “banig”. The main purpose of this study is to develop a machine that can
accurately cut and score (mark) and also to increase their production from 1,000 strips up
to 2,000 – 6,000 strips of doypacks in a day by means of using motor with a desired speed
including the cutting and scoring blades. This was achieved by using the principle of
creasing machine and FT-10 Foil Fuser for an orderly and organized spool of the product.
Test results shown that the machine could cut and score 1000 cm of doypack at exactly
10 minutes. The addition of motor control makes the functionality and safety of the
machine. The prototype is presented to thirty (30) evaluators based on their expertise to
determine its performance. The performance of machine is evaluated by thirty (30)
evaluators and gained the mean score of 4.59 which means Excellent. This concludes that
the doypack cutting and scoring machine can manage the increasing production and with
the use of stainless steels and sheets the machine is lighter and user-friendly to the workers
of Kabalikat.
