520			_aThe goal of the study, Development of a Coated Electrode Flux Remover Machine, is to overcome the drawbacks of conventional flux remover techniques, including their lack of automation, inefficiency, and manual labor. The prototype will be able to remove flux residues from welding electrodes efficiently. The prototype has been designed with two major components, including a Flux Remover Mechanism and a Safety Control System. The Flux Remover Mechanism contains a Feed System with an effective flux residue removal design; the Feed System allows continuous operation and efficient electrode handling. The Safety Control System has been implemented to prevent possible accidents during operation, ensuring that both user and machine are safe. The inspection and evaluation tests of the prototype achieved a high level of satisfaction with scores in the following areas: Functionality 4.77, Workability 4.88, Efficiency 4.81, Durability 4.82, and Safety 4.60. The study got an overall average mean score of 4.78 interpreted as "Highly Acceptable" based on the evaluation results of 41 welding students, 4 faculty members, and 5 welding shop owners. The results prove that the prototype meets all requirements necessary and is an effective solution for flux removal in welding operations.
