This study was conducted at the Pampanga State Agricultural University to design, fabricate and evaluate the performance of manually-operated mineral lick block molder. The performance machine was evaluated using three compaction times, i.e. 5, 10 and 15 seconds, to determine its molding efficiency, consistency and capacity. The data gathered in the performance evaluation were analyzed using Complete Randomized Design (CRD) to determine the differences among the treatments used in the study. Results show the mean of 94.55% for molding efficiency; 10.44% for molding consistency; and 46.12 kg/hr for the machine capacity. It further shows that 15 second compaction time performed best in molding efficiency and consistency, with 95.96% and 12.55% performance, respectively. In machine capacity, on the other hand, 10-second compaction time is deemed the best, with 46.57 kg/hr. The total cost of fabricating the mineral lick block molder, including labor and materials, amounted to Php6,900.00. Payback period is expected after five operating days.
