Design and Building of Servo Motor Portable Coconut Peller Machine

Threats to food security for the Indonesian nation as an agricultural country are still occurring where the government is still opening import faucets, especially for food products. For this reason, Indonesia needs to build food self-sufficiency by optimizing its potential and resources, one of which is through the use of post-harvest technology. Utilization of post-harvest technology can be carried out on all types of commodities, one of which is coconut. Coconut as a leading commodity in the agricultural sector is a multifunctional plant and can grow in all regions of Indonesia. Even though there are a lot of coconut products in all regions of Indonesia, especially in the regions, the availability of technology to improve the quality of post-harvest production is still low. Therefore this study aims to design a coconut peeler machine. The results of the research are in the form of a portable coconut peeler with a servo motor that can be applied in rural areas to be used by farmers to increase the productivity of post-harvest coconut management. The development of this research has several updates, namely a type of portable tool that is easy to carry anywhere
