There are many ways to removed coconut husk. One of the most common ways to removed them is the traditional way which by using a machete or a crowbar. This type of tools requires a lot of effort and energy because it use a lot of swinging process. Not to mention, it may also bring harm to the user like getting wounded by the sharp blade. There should be many coconuts husk peeler machine available across the market but usually there are pricier especially the automatic one. This coconut husk machine is made to reduce the cost of coconut husk peeler machine so that it can be reached by the target market. Therefore, the objective of this project is to fabricate a manual coconut husk peeler machine that is as efficient as the automatic one but with a cheaper price than the market price by fabrication method. This peeler will be equipped with two stainless steel spikey roller that rotated in opposite way to tear the coconut husk. This material is durable, affordable and powerful enough to unhusk the coconut. The method used in this project is the Verein Deutsche Inginieuer 2222 method (VDI 2222). Furthermore, the mechanism used are a gear for the roller to function. In the future, this machine will give benefit to many users.
