General information

:

The machine is used for dehusking of coconut. It consists of semi-circular stationary concave and rotating drum with knives. The electric motor (3 hp) with 10: 1 speed reduction unit is used to drive the drum. The power is transmitted from motor to reduction unit using V -belt and further power from reduction unit to rotating drum is transmitted with chain and sprockets. During operation, the small knives bite the coconut fed through the inlet. At the outlet the nut is fed through two rollers to remove parts of husk remaining on the nut after dehusking.
