"Molding the Future of Metal Industries"

It extends the shelf life of food, thus significantly protects food from spoilage.

It inhibits growth of anaerobic microorganisms by removing most of the air that surrounds the food product.

The machine is advisable for long-term storage of dry food, and short-term preservation of vegetables, meat, and liquids.

The Vacuum Packaging Machine cuts losses due to food wastage.  Wastage reduction will eventually be translated to higher income and more viable business.

"Molding the Future of Metal Industries"

The project involved the fabrication of the rolling stock for the AGT, which is a locally-manufactured rapid mass transit.

It is powered by electricity; a coach carries a maximum of 30 passengers; can run at a top speed of 60 kph at full load; rubber tires carry the coaches along a concrete form of conveyance.

Its structural support requires less space and a very small turning radius indicates easy maneuverability around tight city streets.

The AGT will provide green transportation solutions to highly-populated areas in the country.  It is designed with environment friendly features such as lesser fossil fuel dependence and zero greenhouse gas emissions.  This technology, therefore, addresses transportation, pollution, and health concerns of the nation.

Molding the Future of Metal Industries"

A utility vessel that mechanically removes and collects water hyacinth using specially-developed conveyor system and cutters.

The Harvester mitigates disaster by means of water hyacinth management. The removal of the water hyacinth in bodies of water results to unobstructed flow of water, thereby lessening the threats of flooding during heavy rains.

The 10-inch diameter Cupola utilizes locally-available coke, cast iron charges, and ambient non-oxygen enriched blast air.  It performs with a 120 kg/hr melt rate, costing only P80/kg.  Cost decreases at longer campaigns.

Its design and development included impressive features such as:

  • State of the art refractory systems
  • Simple design and construction
  • Full control operation
  • Low cost operation

The Micro Cupola Furnace’s smaller size and lower operating cost make it very suitable for educational institutions teaching foundry technology or for foundries with lower molten metal requirements.

The use of this equipment will lead to the better understanding of its basic as well as advanced operating principles.  Knowledge and experience from the use of the Micro Cupola Furnace can be used as basis in designing an industrial-type cupola furnace for commercial foundries.
