            COCONUT DEHUSKER
             

       
      DESCRIPTION
      The traditional method of cracking a coconut to separate its husk and 
      shell is very primitive and inefficient, even though today the Copra 
      processing industry uses highly technical methods for other operations.  
      In view of this fact, a simple tool has been developed by CECOCO.  It will 
      crack approximately 100 to 200 coconuts per hour. 

       
      WORKING
      The coconut is struck manually against the close-toothed blades.  Next the 
      handle is turned around and the clamp action snaps the coconut into two 
      pieces.  One or two subsequent operations are needed to separate the core 
      completely.
