Abstract

The introduction establishes the context by highlighting the prevalence of coconuts in culinary activities, as well as the labor-intensive nature of hand coconut scraping. Recognizing the need for an efficient and cost-effective solution, the proposal proposes an automated coconut scraping machine. This equipment intends to simplify the extraction process by substituting manual labor with motorized scraping blades or grates, catering to both residential and industrial applications. Scraping speed, safety precautions, ease of maintenance, and adaptation to various coconut sizes and varieties are all important design concerns. Furthermore, advances in automation technology are expected to improve the performance and utility of such equipment. The issue statement outlines the inefficiencies and safety dangers associated with manual coconut scraping, emphasizing the urgent need for new solutions to fulfill rising worldwide demand for coconut-based goods. Existing machines frequently fall short in terms of efficiency, dependability, and adaptability, emphasizing the need for a more complex and automated approach. The project's goals are straightforward: streamline scraping operations for higher productivity and quality, apply automation to decrease operator participation and improve efficiency, and mitigate safety issues connected with coconut scraping. The presented methodologies focus performance parameters such as scraping speed, extraction efficiency, and product quality, while also employing electric power for automation and maintaining space efficiency in design. The expected outcomes are centered on the machine's functioning, meat extraction efficiency, handling of varied coconut sizes, and safety compliance. The ultimate goal is to greatly cut processing time, enhance production output, and create a safe working environment, therefore modernizing coconut processing methods.
