The harvester has specially-developed conveyor system and cutters that make the mechanical removal of plants possible. Module 2 is an improved version of the first design in the following aspects:
This equipment arrests excessive growth of water hyacinth, thus, helps address problems on flooding and damage to life and property. The use of the Harvester also lessens negative effects of the proliferation of water hyacinth: risk to health and safety; degradation of water quality; interference with irrigation; hindrance to water transport and recreation. Collected water hyacinth serves as raw materials for livelihood projects.

The machine consists of a large tank with agitating paddles that mix the slurry. A diesel engine powers the slurry pump that moves the stored cellulose/fiber mulch materials through a hose and a discharge nozzle with high pressure. High pressure allows the Hydroseeder to distribute the seeds to hard-to-reach slopes. The use of the Hydroseeder promotes the growth of vegetation on bare slopes, and is thus, an effective technology to protect the slopes. The growth of vegetation along the usually bare slopes helps prevent erosion and high velocity of run-off during rainy seasons.

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 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.
