This study designed, fabricated, and evaluated the operating performance of an Electronically Controlled Multiple Use Tire Vulcanizing Machine. The device was developed to address the inefficiencies and environmental hazards associated with traditional kerosene-based vulcanizing methods in Cuyo, Palawan. It features multiple pressers capable of vulcanizing three different interior tire tubes simultaneously within approximately two minutes. Key components include an electric heating system with replaceable elements, an electronic timer for precision, pilot lamp indicators, and a backup power system comprising an inverter and a 12-volt battery for operation during power interruptions. Additional utilities include a wind protection shield and a water heater attachment. Operating on a 220V AC source with a 400W power rating, the machine was evaluated by experts in terms of design, fabrication, and efficiency. Results indicated an overall "Acceptable" rating (Grand Mean = 2.99), confirming that the machine is durable, cost-efficient, environmentally friendly, and effective in enhancing vulcanizing shop productivity. The study concludes that the machine is a viable solution for improving service efficiency and income generation while reducing health and environmental risks.
