    2-in-1 (Chippy & Puff) Extruder Machine

    #TechTrends | 𝟐-𝐢𝐧-𝟏 (𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐲 & 𝐏𝐮𝐟𝐟) 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬

    𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩-𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.

    Meet the 𝟐-𝐢𝐧-𝟏 (𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐲 & 𝐏𝐮𝐟𝐟) 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞, a state-of-the-art technology developed by the 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 (𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬). This machine is designed to transform starchy crops (cassava and sweet potatoes) into delicious snacks using high-precision food shaping technology. 

    Engineered with controlled extrusion parameters, the system enables the production of chippy and puff-type snacks in a singular machine. This ensures product consistency in texture, expansion, and quality for optimal operational efficiency. Through smart innovation, the machine boasts a high adaptability rate for crop-based ingredients, making it suitable for enterprises looking into wide market expansion and versatility among products. 

    What Makes it Unique:

    • 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 – With its obvious 2-in-1 feature, this extruder machine exhibits a robust 5hp motor alongside a cooling system feature for maintaining a steady cooking temperature and a protective cover over the power transmission, ensuring operational safety and reliability while in use.  
    • 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠- Compared to traditional cooking methods of frying, this machine processes products with little to no oil needed, concurrently achieving the puff and crisp standard of traditionally known treats.
    • 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥  – While adding value to locally sourced crops, the global market size of healthy snack chips is valued at USD 11.4 billion in 2021 (Analytics Market   Research, 2023), ideally making MSMEs and agri-food processors to potentially expand in both domestic and export-oriented markets. 

    Transcending from conventional processing, the 𝟐-𝐢𝐧-𝟏 (𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐲 & 𝐏𝐮𝐟𝐟) 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 exhibits how smart engineering can translate into full business potential while adding value to local agricultural resources and empowering MSMEs to scale sustainably.

    Plant Power Shredder

    #TechTrends | Plant Power Shredder from NARC

    From leftover wastes to rich agricultural resource!

    Meet the Plant Power Shredder, an innovative solution designed to turn plant residues into valuable organic matter—offering farmers a smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable way to manage agricultural waste.

    Why it stands out:

    • Efficient waste conversion – Breaks down rice straw, corn stalks, and leaves into organic materials ideal for composting and soil conditioning.
    • High-capacity performance – Processes up to 200 kg of dry materials and 550 kg per hour of wet materials, ensuring faster and more efficient operations.
    • Sustainable alternative – Replaces the traditional burning method, reducing environmental impact while improving soil health.
    • Portable and adaptable design – Trailer-type structure easily attaches to small farm vehicles and hand tractors, making it highly suitable for rural and small-scale farming communities.
    • Built for reliability – Equipped with long, sharp blades and a built-in engine to handle large volumes of plant materials without compromising output quality.

    More than just a machine, the Plant Power Shredder represents how research and innovation meets halfway with our farmer’s daily needs. Through continuous developments of institutions like the National Abaca Research Center (NARC), this emphasizes how science transcends with practical solutions in empowering farmers to strengthen the agricultural value chain in the country.
