Coconuts are dehusked manually using a hand cutting tool. these methods require skilled labour
which is difficult and painstaking process.attempts made so far in the development of dehusking tools
have only been partially successful and not effective in replacing manual methods. the reasons stated
for the partial success of these tools includes unsatisfactory and incomplete dehusking breakage of the
coconut shell,based on this a power-operated coconut dehusking machine is being designed and
fabricated to solve the existing problems.
Coconut is one of the important ingredients in Indian household. It is widely used for cooking and
also for the extraction of coconut oil. Though coconut is used widely in all parts of India, dehusking
of coconut is not an easy task. Husk in botany is the outer shell or coating of a seed. It often may refer
to the leafy outer covering of a coconut. Literally, a husk or hull includes the protective outer covering
of a seed, fruit or vegetable. The dehusking machine is capable of removing husk from the coconut in
an easy way and also time consumption is very less when compared to manual process.
