Abstract: The purpose of the project is to design a machine that will split upper side of coconuts. The machine will consist of a feed mechanism which will feed the coconut to the cutting chamber. The cutting chamber will consist of a cutting wheel that will cut the coconut. The peeling blade will be driven by prime mover (mostly an electric motor). The coconuts will be first fed in from a bucket/hopper to the chamber where the complete process thereafter will be automated. The main aim after the design and development of such a machine is to automate the process of coconut splitting wherein the process will be time saving, include less efforts and will help prevent any probable accidents.
