Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Engineering technology major in Electrical Technology: Technological University of the Philippines 2025 Summary: Increasing consumption of poultry has been associated with piling up enormous wastes in the amounts of chicken bones that are disposed of in landfills, causing environmental pollution, odor problems, attraction of vectors, and poor management of this waste. At the same time, there is an increasing demand for sustainable and locally produced bone-derived materials for agricultural and food-related applications. Processing bone in existing technologies is expensive, energy-intensive, and designed for industrial-scale operations, making them unsuited for small farms or households or microenterprises. The purpose of this capstone project is to design, fabricate, and evaluate a low-cost, portable pulverizer for chicken bones, which addresses the problem being discussed here. A hammer mill-based pulverizing mechanism was developed utilizing a direct drive system with a 220 V single- phase AC motor, and safety features were embedded on the machine. To make it economically feasible, materials used were very affordable and locally available. The meat bones used as a test sample were cleaned, heat-treated, and mechanically processed to test the performance of the machine. The efficiency of the prototype was evaluated by the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) Evaluation System concerning pulverization efficiency, particle size uniformity, functionality, safety, durability, and cost- effectiveness. The machine effectively converts processed chicken bones into fine powder homogeneous in size and can be used in agriculture and possibly food-grade applications, whereas manual labor and operational risks are reduced.

Increasing consumption of poultry has been associated with piling up enormous wastes in
the amounts of chicken bones that are disposed of in landfills, causing environmental
pollution, odor problems, attraction of vectors, and poor management of this waste. At the
same time, there is an increasing demand for sustainable and locally produced bone-derived
materials for agricultural and food-related applications. Processing bone in existing
technologies is expensive, energy-intensive, and designed for industrial-scale operations,
making them unsuited for small farms or households or microenterprises. The purpose of
this capstone project is to design, fabricate, and evaluate a low-cost, portable pulverizer for
chicken bones, which addresses the problem being discussed here. A hammer mill-based

pulverizing mechanism was developed utilizing a direct drive system with a 220 V single-
phase AC motor, and safety features were embedded on the machine. To make it

economically feasible, materials used were very affordable and locally available. The meat
bones used as a test sample were cleaned, heat-treated, and mechanically processed to test
the performance of the machine. The efficiency of the prototype was evaluated by the
Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) Evaluation System concerning

pulverization efficiency, particle size uniformity, functionality, safety, durability, and cost-
effectiveness. The machine effectively converts processed chicken bones into fine powder

homogeneous in size and can be used in agriculture and possibly food-grade applications,
whereas manual labor and operational risks are reduced.
