Direct consumption of refined sugar in many foods causes diabetes. The use of teeth to extract the juice could harm the gums and break the teeth; unfortunately, a limited quantity is extracted. Saccharum officinarum is the botanical name for sugarcane. It is a species of tall, perennial grass that is cultivated everywhere in the globe to produce refined sugar, sugarcane juice, and medicinal products for a series of diseases. A sugarcane juice extraction machine was designed and successfully fabricated to improve the health status of citizens and promote economic sustainability. The performance of the fabricated sugarcane juice extracting machine was evaluated. The design showed an isometric view, and the fabrication revealed a pictorial image of the extracting machine. The crushing, squeezing, and pressing force was effective on the sugarcane in extracting the juice from the saccharum officinarum. The results showed that an average bagasse weight of 313.77 g was produced when an average weight of 408.5 g of juice was extracted from a sugarcane of 772.2 g in an average time of 19.3 seconds. The efficiency of the juice extracting machine is 56.3%. The juice extraction could be commercialized to meet a wider production for national health benefit, economic development, and sustainability.
