Design and Development of a Coconut Shell Shaver Machine
Downloads
This research focuses on the conceptualization and creation of an innovative coconut shell shaver machine, aimed at significantly enhancing the efficiency of shell cleaning for handicrafts while prioritizing safety. The proposed design aims to achieve an elevated level of cleaning proficiency across the coconut shell's surface. This advancement intends to alleviate the labor burden of handicraft artisans, streamline the processing time for coconut shell crafts, and ultimately elevate the overall production rate of coconut shell crafts.
The machine's structure encompasses a motor housed within a protective casing, interconnected through belts and pulleys to a centrally-positioned shaft. This shaft is equipped with circular brushes at both ends. The circular brushes are thoughtfully encased by a steel plate, meticulously engineered to safeguard against dust during operation and ensure operator safety.
The intended outcome of this innovation is to amplify the capabilities of local farmers in the Province of Surigao del Norte, particularly at the village level. The fabrication of the device adheres to standardized measurements, with subsequent phases involving thorough testing and precise adjustments to optimize its operational performance. A comprehensive demonstration of the coconut shell shaver machine is also slated for presentation during the evaluation process.
