Abstract: The prototype abaca fiber stripping machine was developed to enhance the efficiency of abaca fiber extraction, improving both productivity and ease of use. The manually operated stripping process remains a bottleneck in abaca fiber production, necessitating mechanization for mass production and labor reduction. The prototype incorporates an electric motor, pulley system, pedal mechanism, spindle, blade, blade adjuster, stripping shaft, pillow block, and safety cover, designed for durability and operational efficiency. Evaluated by industry experts, faculty, and students, the prototype demonstrated high functionality (mean score = 4.79) and design appeal (mean score = 4.81), indicating strong usability and attractiveness. Statistical analyses confirmed the prototype’s reliability and effectiveness in streamlining abaca fiber stripping. The study underscores the potential for technology adoption in abaca production, suggesting further refinement for increased efficiency and commercial viability.
