Analysis of Solar Operated Coconut Oil Extraction Machine

ABSTRACT In this research D.C. Motor is run by solar panel to crush the coconut. After crushing the coconut milk is obtained, this coconut milk is allowed to undergo fermentation process for some period of time. This fermentation process can be achieved by two ways such as natural and forced fermentation, after fermentation the obtained curd is heated with help of circular shaped parabolic dish collector and after filtering pure coconut oil is obtained. The coconut oil of 500ml is obtained by crushing the 7kg of coconuts, this system is cost efficient. From readings the conclusion is that time required for fermentation process by using lemon is less as compared to use of tamarind and by use of natural process. The waste of coconut after crushing utilized by making biscuits and coconut powder, with the use of this system coconut oil produced at home.
