Abstract
This research was aimed at finding out the efficiency of the portable electronic vulcanizer. The old vulcanizing equipment was upgraded to save time, investment, manpower and to eliminate the problem of gas emission in vulcanization. The study also determined the accurate temperature setting and duration of vulcanizing process using electronic vulcanizer which eliminated the problem of gas emission produced by the conventional (gas fired) vulcanizer of about 2.772 kg of carbon dioxide for 1 liter of diesel fuel and/or 2.331 kg of carbon dioxide for 1 liter of petrol into the atmosphere. In constructing this vulcanizer, a letter G body configuration made of GI pipe with 31.5 cm long lag bolt with some electronic parts were installed, like the analog temperature gauge, digital timer, relay, LED, buzzer, switch, and heating element. Specifically, the product is divided into three components: base or body, control panel board and the heating unit. The effectiveness level of the equipment was tested utilizing five different temperatures at a constant and variable time. For Class A gum, the best temperature which bonded the gum exactly to the rubber tire was 60β in 1 minute while Class B gum was bonded at 60β in 2 minutes. The rate of energy consumed by the electronic vulcanizer for Class A gum was Php 0.0757 with an efficiency of 85.22% and for Class B gum was Php 0.15 with an efficiency of 85.22% and for conventional vulcanizer for Class A gum was Php 1.08 with an efficiency of 43.38% and for Class B gum was Php 1.52, with an efficiency of 78.08%. The study revealed that more tires could be vulcanized in a short period of time, therefore providing greater income over time. It is also environment-friendly since it does not emit carbon dioxide as compared to the conventional vulcanizing.

The timer that controls the duration of the vulcanizing process; temperature gauge that controls the temperature in the process; power switch that is used for cutting the power supply to the machine; light emitting diode (LED) as light monitoring device and the buzzer that sounds when the vulcanizing process is completed; a stainless circular handle with 315 mm by 12 mm lag bolt, used for pressing the heating element and the rubber tire, and a flat type 300 watts heating element was connected to the circuit which is enclosed by a panel board made of galvalum sheet to complete the portable electronic vulcanizer
The best temperature in which the gum was bonded exactly to the rubber tire was 60 ΜC in 5 minutes for Class A gum, with fuel consumption of 20 ml valued at Php 1.08 and an efficiency of 43.38%, while the Class B gum was bonded at 10 minutes at 60 ΜC, fuel consumption of 30 ml valued at Php
