Abstract:

The global coconut industry flourishes, generating food, beverages, and industrial products. However, traditional manual dehusking methods pose significant challenges, including being labor-intensive, time-consuming, and exposing workers to potential injuries. This research paper delves into the design and development of a pneumatic coconut dehusking machine incorporating a timer and sequencing module controlled by a microcontroller. The paper comprehensively explores the various components, their functionalities, the control system architecture, and potential areas for future advancements. It delves deeper into design considerations for optimizing machine performance, safety, and user experience.
