DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF HYDRAULIC POWERED COCONUT WATER EXTRACTION MACHINE

Abstract

Tender Coconut Water is considered one of the healthiest drinks naturally available. But, most of the existing methodologies involve a lot of physical labor and a lot of complexities as the final product is an edible product which limits its availability. The aim of the project is to design a methodology and fabricate a Coconut water extraction machine that is safe, hygienic, and easy to operate. The model developed is a lever-operated hydraulic system that requires lesser exertion and better productivity than manual operation. All the parts which come in contact with the product are a food grade material. The accomplished outcomes are increased productivity, and reduced time per operation in contrast with the conventional method. This machine can be used in small and medium-scale industries to extract Coconut Water on a large scale.
