Preparation of design and development of automatic coconut processing machine

Abstract

The vegetable oil extracted from coconut milk is virgin coconut oil (VCO). Coconut is a plant that's very productive. Dehusking coconut is one of the main processes that takes a lot of time and energy to extract oil. With the assistance of instruments made of iron or wooden crowbar for the dehusking process, most farmers still use human manual labour.. Its aim was to help the local farmers decrease the necessary labor time in de-husking and crushing the coconuts. The proposed system integrates all the sections taking out the virgin coconut oil. The process combines all the three process such as dehusking, grating and crushing of the dehusked coconut. The system is an automated process. The aim of the project is to design and build a coconut processing machine and a machine that can dehusk and prepare the coconut in less time for oil extraction. The construction of machine will be simple in design so that it can be manufactured easily.
