The improved version of the Biolog Extrusion Machine (Model II) effectively extracts coco coir or fiber from coconut husk. These fibers serve as raw materials for ropes and twines, grow poles for plant liners, mats, geotextiles, car seats, mattresses, and many other products. The commercialization of this equipment will turn into usable materials the coconut fibers that were once thrown away and considered farm wastes. Extrusion and utilization of coco coir is a way of generating income for farmers and their families in the coconut-producing regions of the country.

The equipment contains motors underneath the floorboards that duplicate both horizontal and vertical earthquake motions. The Shake Table has features that enable the equipment to simulate earthquakes with intensities ranging from III to VIII. This technology is best for use in the training of civilians and professional responders on various ways to respond to managing disaster risks through understanding intensity and magnitude. It is an effective tool in educating the public and promoting people’s awareness of earthquakes.

The Met Buoy is an instrument equipped with sophisticated communication system and sensors that collect and measure real time ocean and weather data. Its sensors enable the equipment to gather data on wind, relative humidity, air temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall, wave height and direction, and sea temperature. Its power supply is sustained by batteries and solar panels so that it is kept continuously operational. The locally-developed Met Buoy will monitor real time disturbances at sea. Its installation in critical areas will monitor changes at sea, most especially during extreme weather conditions. Data gathered will be used to provide accurate and timely information to help prevent sea accidents and tragedies.

The CNC Plasmanoy utilizes Digital Signal Processing control and servo drive mechanism on cam follower linear rails for the 2-axis gantry system. The third axis uses a Torch Height Controller. The work piece is placed on a platform made from mild steel laser-fabricated cutting grates. Bended mild steel makes up the spatter catch, which is found immediately below the cutting grates. Flexibility and robustness are brought about by the heavy-duty plasma generator and compressor. It is a highly versatile, accurate, and efficient equipment. It uses a string of codes to follow a set of instructions in an orderly manner in order to produce a tool path on the machine. Its high temperature plasma is capable of boring and cutting ferrous and limited non-ferrous metal materials.
