Electric young coconut splitter

Abstract

The present utility model relates to an electric young coconut splitter designed to improve efficiency and safety in young coconut ("buko") processing operations. The device comprises a stainless-steel frame for structural stability and hygienic operation, a heavy-duty cutter blade configured for optimal interaction with young coconut husks, and a safety cover that fully encloses the rotating slicing blade. The device features a push-button on-off switch enabling 10 automated operation that minimizes human error, and a 0.75-horsepower electric motor operatively connected to a speed reducer for precise control of the slicing mechanism. A mounting fixture securely holds the young coconut during slicing, while a juice outlet enables efficient transfer of extracted liquid. The splitter achieves a splitting efficiency of 100% and a processing capacity of approximately 3,724 coconuts per hour, providing a substantial improvement over conventional manual processing methods.
