The study was conducted at Barangay Guesang, Municipality of Mangaldan, Province of Pangasinan from December 2015 up to February 2015 for the Design, Construction, and Performance Evaluation of the DMMMSU Vacuum Type Grain Collector. The machine was constructed for continuous operation. Three treatments were used with three replicates to evaluate the machine. The collecting capacity, collecting efficiency, operating cost, fuel consumption and grain quality analysis were carried out for the performance evaluation of the machine. The collecting capacity of the machine is 14.2 kilograms per minute, the collecting efficiency is 99.6 percent, the operating cost is 87.4 peso per hour, the fuel consumption is 225.56 milliliter per 50 kilograms and 11.3 percent were hulled in 50 kilograms and was used for the grain quality.
