Coconut Duo-Tech

Abstract

The objective of this report is to present the design and evaluation of the Coconut Duo-Tech, which provides a creative way to process coconuts efficiently and semi-automatically in a small and medium enterprise setting. Traditional manual processing requires intensive labour and time, resulting in low productivity and higher costs. To simplify the coconut processing process and increase productivity, the Duo-Tech was created in response to these difficulties. The main goals and specifications of the Duo-Tech are discussed in the opening section of this report, along with issues such as ease of use, timesaving, and injury prevention. To meet customer demand, a strong mechanical product framework needed to be developed during the design phase. To ensure it functions well and consistently, several mechanisms, including de-husking and cutting, were developed carefully. The Coconut Duo-Tech can process coconuts in large quantities at one time compared to traditional methods, showing that it is significantly more effective than manual techniques, resulting in higher processing speeds. The Coconut Duo-Tech can increase its usefulness and potential for wider adoption, especially during festive seasons such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. The conclusion of the report emphasizes the advantages of widespread use of the Coconut Duo-Tech. With lower labour costs, increased productivity, and minimal environmental impact, it provides a sustainable solution for the industrial and agricultural sectors. The design and analysis of the Coconut Duo-Tech can function well and contribute to advancements in automation for small and medium enterprises, paving the way for increased productivity and efficiency in coconut processing.
