Abstract:

This study aimed to design and build a classifier that could distinguish balut eggs from penoy. The device consisted of a mechanical arm which can be activated by a low- voltage source to separate the two different eggs from each other.

Experimental development and descriptive approaches were the methods used. Purposively chosen evaluators were requested to assess the functionality of the system.

Findings showed that the device was reliable since it accurately classified a balut egg from penoy in a lesser amount of time. Thus, the device's functionality was proven since it lessened the time consumed by the egg distributors to classify eggs.
