  • What are the types of automatic coconut husking machine?
  • The mechanical coconut husking machine, continuous power-operated coconut husking machine, and the hydraulic coconut de-husking machine are the types of automatic de-husking method. The mechanical coconut husking machine consists of three components—inlet, de-husking component, and outlet.
  • How does a coconut de-husking machine work?
  • Abstract – A coconut de-husking machine comprising of two rollers with spikes, chain drives, presser, clearers, shafts and belting system was developed for small-scale production in rural areas. Performance test analysis showed that the machine de-husks coconut fruits without any nut breakage or distortion of the extracted fibre length.
  • Can a steel fabricator fabricate a coconut husking machine?
  • Also, the machine was simple to construct that any steel fabricator can fabricate it. Another study was conducted in 2016 by “development of a new coconut de-husking and cutting machine”. This study showed a new concept of de-husking and cutting a coconut on the same machine.
  • How does a coconut husking machine work?
  • Two metal cylinders with a series of spikes are used to remove the husks from the coconut fruit and are attached to the rotary shaft. The machine’s average de-husking efficiency and capacity are 90.42% and 222 coconuts per hour, respectively.
  • Is a low cost coconut dehusking machine feasible?
  • A low cost coconut dehusking machine has been fabricated. The machine is appeared to be feasible, pollution less, economic. Number of nuts produced per hour depends upon the slack time and speed of roller units. Number of nuts dehuksed per hour is found to be 220 nuts which is above other existing similar machines.
  • How long does it take to de-husk a coconut?
  • Coconut de-husking machine has the average capacity to de-husk the Coconut on an average at 12.1 seconds. When the observations were taken on ten Coconuts and only one skilled operator is required for operating the entire machine. The labor cost is nearly half the cost of de-husking the Coconut by using the conventional method.
