    The document describes a coconut dehusking machine that was designed and fabricated to reduce the effort required to manually dehusk coconuts. Existing dehusking methods are labor intensive and tiresome. Previous dehusking tools have had issues like incomplete removal of the husk, breaking the coconut shell, and being more laborious than manual methods. The goal of this machine is to overcome these issues and provide an easier way to dehusk coconuts using lever mechanics.

    COCONUT DEHUSKING MACHINE

    ABSTRACT

    Generally, coconuts are dehusked manually using either a machete or a spike. These methods
    require skilled labour and are tiring to use. Attempts made so far in the development of
    dehusking tools have been only partially successful and not effective in replacing manual
    methods. The reasons quoted for the failure of these tools include unsatisfactory and incomplete
    dehusking, breakage of the coconut shell while dehusking, spoilage of useful coir, greater effort
    needed than manual methods, etc.

    We are pleased to bring out our project “Design and Fabrication of manual operated Coconut
    dehusking machine” for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical
    Engineering. This project is aimed to reduce the effort taken for Coconut dehusking. In
    commercial methods lot of efforts are taken to dehusk the Coconut. There is a device same like
    this in which equal effort is required to dehusk the Coconut as required in direct manner.
    However there is a machine to dehusk the Coconut powered by hydraulics, it includes more
    capital cost, required more skilled operator and more time consuming. To overcome these
    demerits we are developed this device. In our project we use lever mechanism, which improve
    our knowledge about levers. We joined the parts of the device by welding and pin joint. This
    leads to know about welding and pin action. Our project’s main goal is to make an evolution in
    agricultural field. Lets we see all the details about our project in bellowed contents.
    INTRODUCTION

    Coconut, the fruit of the coconut palm tree which has the scientific name as “Cocos nucifera”.
    India is one of the leading producers of this coconut. It is usually grown in coastal areas.
    Coconuts are large, dry drupes, ovoid in shape, up to 15" long and 12" wide. The coconut is
    smooth on the outside, yellowish or greenish in color. Within the outer shell is a fibrous husk one
    to two inches (2.5 to 5cm) thick. The inner shell is brown and hard, surrounding the white
    coconut meat. Coconut husks are the rough exterior shells of the coconut. This outer shell or
    husk has to be removed for the usage of coconut.
    ADVANTAGES
