| dc.description.abstract | Coconut is extensively used in the food business, including both large-scale commercial
processing plants and home kitchens. The process of harvesting coconuts is somewhat
time-consuming, and the hand execution requires substantial physical effort, making it
an inefficient method. An automated coconut scraping machine has been designed to
address this difficulty as part of the project. To assess its efficacy, 3 coconuts were
thoroughly scraped, and the necessary duration for each was precisely measured. The
average time required to scrape a single coconut was found as 15 minutes. The electrical
energy utilized in the coconut scraping process was accurately measured, indicating an
average usage of 0.15 kWh per coconut. The operating expenditure for scraping one
coconut, based on an electricity pricing of 7 taka per kWh, was determined to be a cost
effective 1 taka and 5 paisa. The machine efficiently produces finely grated coconut
with the requisite consistency for various culinary uses, obviating the necessity for
manual effort. This device possesses considerable potential for domestic integration,
offering a decrease in human labor. The low power usage guarantees economical
running expenses for a diverse array of customers. | en_US |
