Dissertation note: College of Engineering.-- Bachelor of science in mechanical engineering: Technological University of the Philippines, 2024. Summary: The purpose of this study is to explores the potential of powdered Kamias for food production through innovative processing technologies. It helps to reduce the waste of Kamias and create a new product that can be marketed locally. The machine aims to advance the drying process, enhance product quality, and improve profitability for the Kilos Unlad ng Mamamayan ng Real (KUMARE) – an all women cooperative in Real, Quezon that makes Kamias products. The study aims to develop a machine that can dry 5 kilograms of Kamias within 5 hours, achieving moisture content of 0%-5% per trial. The trials results show the dehydrator efficiency in producing consistent and desirable outcomes. The first trial yielded a final weight of 154 grams with 3.74% of moisture content. The second trial produced a final weight of 189 grams with 4.4% of moisture content. The third trial yielded a final weight of 194 grams with 4.56% of moisture content. The Kamias were dehydrated inside the drying chamber at 75 degrees Celsius for 5 hours. Important components like the heating element, fan, heating chamber, perforated tray, hopper, lever, and pulverizer were successfully incorporated. These findings suggest that the machine represents a potential technological solution for enhancing the efficiency and quality of Kamias powder production.

The purpose of this study is to explores the potential of powdered Kamias for food
production through innovative processing technologies. It helps to reduce the waste of
Kamias and create a new product that can be marketed locally. The machine aims to
advance the drying process, enhance product quality, and improve profitability for the
Kilos Unlad ng Mamamayan ng Real (KUMARE) – an all women cooperative in Real,
Quezon that makes Kamias products. The study aims to develop a machine that can dry 5
kilograms of Kamias within 5 hours, achieving moisture content of 0%-5% per trial. The
trials results show the dehydrator efficiency in producing consistent and desirable
outcomes. The first trial yielded a final weight of 154 grams with 3.74% of moisture
content. The second trial produced a final weight of 189 grams with 4.4% of moisture
content. The third trial yielded a final weight of 194 grams with 4.56% of moisture content.
The Kamias were dehydrated inside the drying chamber at 75 degrees Celsius for 5 hours.
Important components like the heating element, fan, heating chamber, perforated tray,
hopper, lever, and pulverizer were successfully incorporated. These findings suggest that
the machine represents a potential technological solution for enhancing the efficiency and
quality of Kamias powder production.
