Designation, analysis and fabrication of portable coconut grating machine / Nur Khairina Izzati Ismail

This project is presenting the portable coconut grating machine that primarily intended for home usage. The coconut grating machines that commonly available on the market need user to hold the coconut half-shell against a rotary blade, which is normally powered by an electric motor. Due to the user's hands being so close to the grater blade, this is highly risky. Plus, most of the currently available machines are big and expensive. Two main objectives for this project are the machine will be created with high safety factor and affordable for people to buy. This grating machine will be fabricated based on the finalized design. The results obtained from this machine is the design and analysis well organized enough to provide grating rate and low breaking rate. In conclusion, this study explains how this portable coconut grating machine was modified to address the well known issues of grating coconuts.
