Abstract


The Caraga region in the Philippines is known for its rich natural resources, including many lotus plants. Lotus fibers have been identified as a promising alternative to traditional textile materials due to their similar properties to jute, a widely used natural fiber. Existing lotus fiber extraction is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The study focused on developing a Motor-Controlled Lotus Fiber Extraction System for sustainable alternative textile production. It aimed to assess the functionality of the innovation in terms of efficiency and capability to extract lotus fibers. The study implored technical developmental and descriptive research design and was evaluated by experts from mechanical and electrical technology fields. The data revealed that the developed Motor-Controlled Lotus Fiber Extraction System exhibited great potential in producing lotus fiber that can be utilized for making fabric. Further, the developed innovation showed very good results concerning providing the correct results needed to achieve the desired degree of precision and efficiency of the techniques used in the operation.
