ABSTRACT: Coconut’s endosperm
separation process has been done
manually in the home industry the
process is that coconut fiber separation process by using short sword kind of crowbar,
and coconut shell separation process by
using short sword . All of process uses
human’s hand ( manual ). By the process,
it will containt high accident risk it also needs long time and needs a lot of
workers. A worker can reach 30 coconuts/hour in capacity only and there are
part of coconut shell stick on coconut’s endosperm although in minimum size.
For separation process eficiency rises, needs mechanical separation process.
Those by design and build “ Endosperm separating machine “, which can produce
clean and fullfill the home industry standart which has small fund. Design and
build process starts by knowing force need for slice the coconut and force need
for separating endosperm process by shape testing, slicer dimensions and
separotor dimensions, machine mechanism, kind of motor, and power to run the
process.
Endosperm separating machine completed by slicer and motored by
electrical motor ½ HP, 1450 rpm by three steps transmition consist of belt,
pulley for slicing process and gear box 1 : 40, bevel gear, for separation
process. Capacity by using this machine, production capacity can reach 90
coconuts/hour with separation quality is better than manual process.
