 Abstract

Generally , coconuts are dehusked manually using either

machete or a spike which is mostly a tiring work.
So many attempts made in the development of this
dehusking tool have been only partially successful. And are not
effective in replacing manual method.
The present work involves the design, development and
testing of a coconut dehusker which overcomes the drawbacks
of the previously reported method.
This coconut dehusker involves simple mechanisms for
dehusking the coconut in a safe and efficient way.
