There are various techniques for de-husking coconut. These techniques are used to a great extent in taking off the exocarp of a coconut (husk), but these techniques have many concerns and restrictions. These issues reduce the production rate of de-husking coconut. These methods are more dangerous and harmful to the user. The paper aims to reduce human effort and accidents when de-husking using crude tools as well as maintaining a hygienic environment. This paper majorly focuses on the development of a coconut de-husking machine. The machine consists of a frame for support. It has two rollers with blades parallel to each other. The 5 h.p electric motor powers the machine by using a chain drive to transmit power to the shaft which rotates the roller blades. As the blade roller rotates, the husk is removed. The machine can de-husk a coconut within 30 s which is faster than the manual de-husking method which takes approximately 250 s. It can de-husk coconut of different types and sizes. The machine is also found to be approximately nine times faster than the manual de-husking method. This new coconut de-husking machine will help increase an economy that relies on coconuts for the renewable energy industry and coir product firm. This machine will be useful to the coconut processing factories.

A REVIEW OF COCONUT HUSKING MACHINES
2014, IAEME Publication
Husking of coconut is among the most-difficult post-harvest operations relevant to coconut. Traditionally the entire husking is done manually using either a machete or a crowbar, and it involves much human drudgery, skill, training, and endurance. There are lots of machines invented all over the world to mechanize this operation, but only a few of them are available in market, sadly some of them have vanished from the market and the rest have not reached the market yet due to many reasons. So a study was conducted about the various coconut husking machines which were made so far stating what are advantages and disadvantages of them, the study included both the manually and mechanized versions of husking mechanisms.

Two models of multipurpose machine viz. sitting model and standing model to punch a hole in tender coconut, to split a tender coconut after drinking inside water, to dehusk the ripened coconut, cutting a sugarcane bud chip, to cut raw mango into small pieces for pickle preparation and for bottle corking were developed by Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Talsande, Kolhapur (M. S.) India in December, 2014. These two models were studied for their performance and compared with traditional tools/machines. The sitting model of multipurpose machine was able to perform six operations viz. tender coconut punching, tender coconut cutting or splitting matured coconut dehusking, raw mango cutting, bottle corking and sugarcane set cutting. This model performed best in punching of tender coconuts (69 coconuts/hr) and dehusking of matured coconuts (75 coconuts/hr) than other purposes of the machine when compared with standing model and traditional methods. Standing model of multipurpose machine was able to perform all operations that sitting model can perform except matured coconut dehusking and bottle corking. Standing model performed best in cutting or splitting of tender coconuts (102 coconuts/hr) and raw mangoes cutting (21.22 kg/hr) than other purposes of the machine when compared with sitting model and traditional method. Both the models of multipurpose machine have shown poor performance in sugarcane set cutting when compared with traditional cutter.

The scope of this project was to design and develop a coconut fiber extraction machine for farmers and small scale coir industries in India to provide an effective solution to the difficulties in existing process, reduce time and labour cost and to develop a compact coconut fiber extraction machine which could be used in remote villages so that unutilized husks from such areas could be tapped and fiber could be made available to the Coir Industry directly. This project was taken up to develop a promotional strategy for a new innovation and generate public awareness regarding the availability of a coconut fiber extraction machine in the market at a reasonable cost. The project began with collection of information and data on user lifestyle and current process by which they perform their job. The current difficulties were analyzed. Interviews were held with users. A comparative bench marking study was done on similar processes used in other similar extraction processes. Along with this an ergonomic simulation was made to understand the user difficulties and manufacturing methods to get an overview to provide solution to the user to suit their requirement. Concepts were generated keeping benchmarked product in view. Five concepts were generated with different functions and operating processes for coconut fiber extraction machine. Final concept was selected by considering the users' operating environment and maintenance, which could be used in small scale coir industries and in the farm sector. Considering the users' needs and buying capacity, a prototype was fabricated. This machine works with gear mechanism, in which 2 barrels rotates in opposite direction to extract fiber from coconut. Cutting pins are inserted in indexed holes to separate fiber and to give linear motion to coconut shell. Validation was carried out with the user group and the feedback was positive. It was noticed that there is potential market for this product. Further work could be carried in terms of aesthetics, material and weight reduction by adopting advanced manufacturing techniques.

Generally, coconuts are de-husked manually using a machete or a spike. These methods require skilled labour and are laborious to use. Attempts made so far in the development of de-husking tools have only been partially successful and not effective in replacing manual methods. Considering, the drawbacks of manual de-husking of manual de-husking methods, existing automated de-husker, power operated coconut de-husking machine was developed. The power operated coconut de-husking machines operates on 1hp electric motor. It consists of main parts like frame, electric motor, speed reduction unit and de-husking unit. Single person is required for operating the de-husker. It can be operated by unskilled labour. Cost benefit analysis indicates that it should be commercially valuable. Keywords: frame, electric motor, speed reduction unit and de-husking unit, I. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, with the development of modern technology, with scope of this project was to design and develop a coconut fiber extraction machine for farmers and small scale coir industries in India to provide an effective solution to the difficulties in existing process, reduce time and labour cost and to develop a compact coconut fiber extraction machine which could be used in remote villages so that unutilized husks from such areas could be tapped and fiber could be made available to the Coir Industry directly. This project was taken up to develop a promotional strategy for a new innovation and generate public awareness regarding the availability of a coconut fiber extraction machine in the market at a reasonable cost. The design and fabrication activities involved in developing an automated coconut de-husking machine. The main purpose of this machine is to eliminate the skilled operator involved in de-husking the coconut and to completely the de-husking and crown removing process. Farm mechanization increases the effective utilization of machines to increase the productivity of land and labor. Besides it helps in reducing the drudgery, time and cost of cultivation in farm operations.

The shelling of pods is very difficult and time consuming operation. It effects very much on the processing of grains. In past shelling is done by manually and by the help of animals. But now a day's different pod shelling machines are available in the industry. This study has been carried out to know the different pod shelling machines available. Also the different type of materials of machines were used by the different researchers. In this study also the different techniques of shelling used in the different machines is discussed.
