Design, development and testing of an auger‐assisted semi‐automatic coconut husking machine

Abstract: Coconut husking is the primary and most difficult post‐harvesting operation among coconut processing. The physical properties of the coconuts such as length, diameter, perimeter, weight and husk thickness at the apex, at the pedicel end, at the ¼ from pedicel end, at the ½ from the pedicel end and at the ¾ from the pedicel end and the husk‐separating‐forces are calculated to design machine components. A prototype of an auger‐assisted semi‐automatic coconut husking machine (ASCHM) have designed, constructed, te… Show more

“…However, the striping efficiency of the CPOCD was only 81.17%, since supervision and control did not take place once the coconuts were put into the machine. Owing to the elasticity toughness of the bionic torsional spring, the percentage of inner wooden coconut shell breaking of this machine (around to .3%) was far less than that of other coconut fiber removal machines (3%-15%), as shown in Figure 10 ( Kwangwaropas, 1992;Navaneethan et al, 2020;Taufik & Akhir, 2014;Varghese et al, 2021). Therefore, it can be seen that it is suitable for the removal of coconut fiber in small-scale workshops.…”

“…Varghese et al designed an auger‐assisted semiautomatic coconut husking machine. The husking efficiency can meet the industrial requirements (Varghese et al, 2021), but it poses a risk of inflicting injury to the handler's hand in the event of unskilled labor. Vargheser and Jacob (2014) designed a coconut husking tool with juxtaposed wedge‐like blades, which required manual feeding.…”

“…This machine is upgradation to manual coconut husking machines like Keramithra coconut husking machine. The machine is developed by Varghese et al [11]. The machine comprised of a pair of upright blades; held juxtaposed for manual impaling, and an auger which is driven by belt, pulley and electric motor (Fig.…”

“…The power operated coconut dehusking and deshelling machines have numerous advantages over manual dehusking and deshelling. Power operated dehusking and deshelling machines reduces human drudgery, makes dehusking and deshelling easier, improves quality of operation, improves capacity of operation, makes dehusking and deshelling safer and power operated dehusking machines and deshelling machines are economical in long term [8,9,10,11]. Although there are many tools and machines invented to perform these operations, still dehusking and deshelling of coconut is the labour-intensive task.…”
