DESCRIPTION

The traditional method of cracking a coconut to separate its husk and shell is very primitive and inefficient, even though today the Copra processing industry uses highly technical methods for other operations.  In view of this fact, a simple tool has been developed by CECOCO.  It will crack approximately 100 to 200 coconuts per hour. 

WORKING

The coconut is struck manually against the close-toothed blades.  Next the handle is turned around and the clamp action snaps the coconut into two pieces.  One or two subsequent operations are needed to separate the core completely.
