Amount of oil that can be process; and can evaluate the acceptability of the prototype using the validated test instrument. For the first testing: 2 kilos of combined resicada and fresh copra; for 29 minutes and 41 seconds, the machine produced 500 ml raw oil or unrefined oil. For the second testing: 2 kilos of fresh copra; for 27 minutes and 22 seconds, the machine produced 400.28 ml of raw oil or unrefined oil. From the project evaluation results: Among the functionality indicators, all parts of the machine function properly, which is for the evaluator/respondents, it is highly acceptable. The rest of the indicators are very acceptable in functionality. Among the indicators, color appeal, quality design and appropriate of size are very acceptable under creativity and design indicators as per evaluation. The rest, the originality of lay out and general appearance are only acceptable. Under workability indicators, it was evaluated by the evaluator/respondents that all indicators are very acceptable. Among the indicators for economy, in terms of materials and materials required it is highly acceptable; while in time/labor spent, it is very acceptable. That absence of toxic/hazardous materials is highly acceptable as safety indicator; while the rest, absence of sharp edges and provision of protection devices are very acceptable as safety indicators as evaluated by the evaluator/respondents. It was concluded that, from the test results and from the findings presented as evaluated by the evaluator/respondents, the extractor machine to extract copra unrefined coconut oil is functionable, creative, workable, durable, and economical and safety.
