One of the desirable rice alternatives that can fill the insufficiency of rice supply in the Philippines, is the foxtail millet (Setaria italica). Millet has the ability to meet the challenges of climate change compared to rice and highly promoted crops in terms of severe malnutrition, increasing temperature and water stress. Yet, their utilization is still not widespread because of the laborious and time consuming traditional milling process. Thus, this study aimed to design, fabricate, test and evaluate a millet milling machine to increase the value, production and utilization of millet as rice alternative. The study aimed to determine input capacity ( kg h-1), coefficient of hulling, coefficient of wholeness, hulling efficiency (%), output capacity ( kg h-1) milling capacity (kg h-1) and milling recovery ( %). Also the physical characteristics of the test material were obtained in terms of fineness modulus, bulk density (g cc-1) and moisture content (%). The highest values of coefficient of hulling, coefficient of wholeness, hulling efficiency, output capacity and milling recovery were 0.91, 0.99, 89.87%, 0.64 kg h-1 , 67.06%, respectively, were obtained using a lower moisture content of 8-10% at a higher speed of 1500 rpm. The total fabrication cost of the machine was PhP 14,858.90. Results showed that the cost of using the machine per hour was PhP 29.48 with payback period of 7.8 months. The machine works at lesser labor, time and cost at the higher hulling efficiency, output capacity and material recovery than the traditional method of milling.
