This coconut husk machine is made to reduce the cost of coconut husk peeler machine so that it can be reached by the target market. Therefore, the objective of this project is to fabricate a manual coconut husk peeler machine that is as efficient as the automatic one but with a cheaper price than the market price by fabrication method. This peeler will be equipped with two stainless steel spikey roller that rotated in opposite way to tear the coconut husk. This material is durable, affordable and powerful enough to unhusk the coconut. The method used in this project is the Verein Deutsche Inginieuer 2222 method (VDI 2222).
