A power operated coconut de-shelling machine was designed and developed. Today there is many methods used for de-husking and de-shelling of coconut. These methods are widely used for removing of the coconut husk but these methods have many problems and limitations while operating these machines. These problems affect the production rate of de-husking the coconut. To overcome the limitations and problems occurring in the present machine there is need of the method to be automatic and less harmful to the user . This de husker comprises usage of two horizontal rollers with series of sharp tools which would shear the husk from coconut when rolling against each other. Shear force is required for de husking of mature green coconut and dry brown coconut. Shear force required is more for mature green coconut than dry coconut. A coconut de- shelling machine comprising of cutter with belt drive. Performances test analysis conducted show that the machine de-shelled the fruits without nut breakage. The loading and unloading is done manually. All materials used in the fabrication of this machine are of standard specification and locally sourced. This machine eliminates the problems and limitations to a greater extent. In this way the production rate increases compared to the conventional coconut de-husking machine.
