The paper is about fabrication of coconut de-shelling machine.The conventional method used in India, for de-shelling the coconut is labor intensive, unhygienic, time consuming and harmful to human body. To overcome this problem, there is a need to automate the de-shelling process. While automating the process the usefulness of the by-products are to be considered and carefully handled. A coconut de-shelling machine comprising of two cutter mounted on a same shaft with gear drive. Performances test analysis, show that the machine de-shelled the fruits without nut breakage as well as its average de-shelling efficiency is doubled and 300 coconut can de-shell per hour. All materials used in the fabrication of this machine are of standard specification and locally sourced. The estimated cost of producing one unit of the machine is twenty two thousand (Rs.22,000). The objective of project is to design and developed the coconut de-shelling machine and performance of machine which can remove maximum coconut shell at less time.. The construction of machine will be simple in design so that it can be easily manufactured in small workshop. Also the machinery will be of low cost so that an average farmer and small scale vendor can afford to buy it.
