Coconut Milk Extracting Machine by Screw Press System

Coconut Milk Extracting Machine by Screw Press System - one product of the coconut is coconut milk, which is the result of a white layer or endosperm. Coconut milk is one of raw material for various types of cuisine as well as raw materials for the manufacture of coconut oil. Coconut oil is often used as a daily charge of food ingredient and processing for non-food industry. This condition is a very promising business opportunities.

Palm oil production process in rural areas is still made the traditional way, one of them in shredded extortion process to the thickness of the coconut milk. Extortion process is still done by hand or trampled by the feet in a special bath sprinkled with water slowly. Its process is less efficient operations (loss of time and energy), less hygienic (does not fulfill health standards) and low productivity, so the need to improve the mechanical pressing system that can increase the coconut milk capacity.

One of extortion process improvement is to create Coconut Milk Extracting Machine by Screw Press System. We hope this tool to optimize the use of oil to encourage the development of industry in the form of other commodities such as sustainable milk industry (instant coconut) and increase the role of oil as a source of local revenue.

Construction of Coconut Milk Extracting Machine

Construction of Coconut Milk Extracting Machine comprises the main parts as shown below:

Extortion Concept for Coconut Milk Extracting Machine

Extortion process is due to the pressure received by the grated coconut. Maximum press grated coconut produce coconut milk and dregs. Coconut milk through the filter, while the coconut dregs remaining on the sieve.

Principle of Coconut Milk Extracting Machine

The disc pressing grated coconut in the cylinder. The pressure is given by the screw manually or workers. Cycle increases the torque on the screw is a linear movement on the disk. Rectilinear motion is pressing the grated coconut. When the disc is pressing grated coconut and it’s retained by the filter, then the coconut milk secreting pressed through a perforated sieve. Sieve consists of a filter cloth and the filter plate.

Operations of Coconut Milk Extracting Machine

How to run the Coconut Milk Extracting Machine is as follows:

1. Make sure the container is in under the funnel, so that coconut milk accommodated properly.
2. Prepare a filter cloth according to the cylinder capacity.
3. Turn the screw a pressure to the cylinder open.
4. Remove the cylinder from the stand.
5. Replace the filter cloth on the cylinder.
6. Put the grated coconut mixed with water in the filter cloth on the cylinder.
7. Close the filter cloth until all covered with grated coconut.
8. Put the grated coconut cylinder containing the cylinder holder.
9. Turn the screw a pressure to the disc started to push grated coconut.
10. Continue to turn the screw a pressure of up to a most depressed and all the grated coconut milk out through the funnel.
11. Turn the screw back to its original position suppressant.
12. Remove the cylinder from its holder and remove the remaining grated (waste).
13. If the rest of the grated still contain coconut milk, stir again grated with enough water added.
14. Repeat step 5 to step 12.
15. If the extortion process is complete, clean the cylinder by water and give lubricant on the screw suppressant.
