ABSTRACT

ANDAN, OLIVER JOHN., AMELIC, ROSE JEN, AVILA JOREILYN (2023).

Design and Fabrication of Electric Glass Bottle Crusher. Bachelor of Technology

and Livelihood Education, Davao Oriental State University, City of Mati, Davao Oriental.

Adviser: Eric S. Sarcia, MVE

This project entitled “Design and Fabrication of Electric Glass Bottle Crusher”

which comprises of a motor that gives the rotary power to the mold drum, mold drum

that serves as crushing container and a belt that transfers power to one pulley to

another , pulley that transmits the motion of a longer distance, bolt that is used to

position object , shaft(crusher) crushed the bottles inside the mold drum , two bolt gate

bearing which maintain the stable rotation of the mold drum and the trimmer which

controls the flow of the current of electric motor. This technology is helpful in the

recycling process of glass.

The researchers conducted the evaluation using a survey questionnaire

adopted from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Technology

Assessment Protocol (TAP) with thirty (30) respondents. This number was comprised of

twenty (20) experts, mainly people from construction sites, junkshops people who work

related to the studied technology, and ten (10) teachers teaching Technology and

Livelihood Education subjects.

The study was concluded and is being evaluated as technically feasible (4.43),

economically and financially viable (4.21), environmentally sound (4.26), politically

acceptable (4.37), and socially acceptable (4.35), Effectiveness (4.19), Performance

(4.25) and safety (4.29).

Further the researchers revised the defects found during testing in which

they would recommend that instead of using bigger motor just use the smaller one as it

is much safer for the user.

Keywords: glass bottles, bottle crusher, electric crusher, crusher design

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The completion of this undertaking could not have been possible without the participation

and assistance of so many people whose names may not all be enumerated. Their contributions

are sincerely appreciated and gratefully acknowledged. However, the researchers would like to

express their deep appreciation and indebtedness particularly to the following:

Foremost, the researchers want to offer this endeavor to our God Almighty for the wisdom

He bestowed upon them, the strength, peace of mind and good health in order to finish this study

successfully.

In addition, the researchers would like to express their gratitude towards their family for the

encouragement which helped them in completion of this paper. They were always on their side

when times they needed them most and helped them a lot in making this study, and to all who

served as their inspiration to pursue this undertaking.

The researchers are highly indebted to Davao Oriental State University, Faculty of

Teachers Education and Education for Lifelong Innovation and Technological Excellence

for their guidance and constant supervision as well as for providing necessary information

regarding this research and also for their support in completing this endeavor.

The researchers would like to express their special gratitude and thanks to their dearest

research teacher, grammarian and statistician, Dr. Maria Gloria R. Lugo, for imparting her

knowledge and expertise in this study.

To the research adviser and chairman of the panel, Mr. Eric S. Sarcia, MVE, for

continiously supporting them to finish this study, making it successful despite the hectic

schedules that they had.

 VI

The researchers would also like to thank the active TLE teachers of Mayo, National High

School and to all expert respondents, for imparting their precious time in evaluating the project

and for sharing their comments and suggestions.

Lastly, the researchers’ thanks and appreciations also go to their classmates, colleagues,

friends, love ones and people who have willingly helped them out with their abilities.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
