ABSTRACT
Manual extraction of
coconut oil has existed for centuries, with its importance found in our daily
activities. In order to integrate both the grating and extracting of coconut
oil, this project is birthed as it improves the efficiency of the processing of
coconut oil. Against the manual method of processing which has a pressing and
grating efficiency of 67%, other innovations have been made to grate or extract
the coconut oil. The efficiency and proper integration of the manufacturing
processes to extract the coconut oil have been developed for economically extracting
coconut oil. The economic factor of the newly developed oil extracted machine
is relatively cheap as a total cost of 109050 naira was used to fabricate the
machine with an efficiency of 92.3%. the capacity of the improved machine is
rated to be 10.12kg/hr. Stainless steel materials were used for the grating and
extracting units to help prevent the issue of corrosion Hence the newly
improved machine is safe, economical and more efficient
