Issue Date: Apr 30, 1996
The Tamil Nadu Agricultural
University in Coimbatore, has developed a deVice to help in the dehusking of coconut. The thick outer
covering of the nut is difficult to
remove and has to be stripped away
slowly with the help of a sharp
implement which requires time and
manual labour. The new device
consists of a tong-like structure
mounted on a pillar. The coConut to
be dehusked is placed on a platform
below the tong, the jaws of which
break into the husk as it is pressed
down. When the jaws open, the husk
separates from the nut.
