Engineering high-performance coconut processing machinery that drives efficiency, scalability, and sustainability for businesses across the globe.
Cibus Industries’ Coconut Pre-Cutter is designed to prepare whole coconuts for the critical shell cracking and deshelling stages by precisely trimming husk edges and standardizing coconut profiles. Featuring hardened-steel blades, automated husk gripping arms, and variable-angle cutting heads, the machine operates at throughputs of 300 to 1,200 coconuts per hour. It accommodates a wide range of coconut sizes (50 to 120 mm diameter), ensuring consistent alignment and shell geometry for efficient downstream processing. The pre-cutter’s modular design allows for seamless integration with existing feed conveyors and shell cracking equipment, while its ergonomic loading stations reduce operator fatigue and enhance workplace safety.
“At Cibus, pre-cutting coconuts is not just about resizing - it’s about providing a uniform feedstock that ensures smooth, damage-free shell cracking and deshelling.”
During extensive quality testing, the pre-cutter processes coconuts with diverse maturity stages, size variances, and husk moisture levels. The trials assess cut accuracy, husk retention, and impact on subsequent cracking tools, measuring diameter uniformity within ±2 mm and a significant reduction in tool wear by approximately 30%. Performance under continuous, multi-shift operation verifies consistent throughput without causing bottlenecks or material jams. Operator feedback is incorporated to fine-tune feed rates and improve ergonomics, minimizing manual handling and improving overall plant productivity.
The pre-cutter’s durable construction features corrosion-resistant components, quick-change blades, and enhanced safety interlocks for protection during maintenance. Its automated control panel enables recipe-based adjustments for different coconut varieties and processing speeds. This ensures that whether your operation processes tender or mature coconuts, the Cibus Coconut Pre-Cutter delivers uniform sizing and optimal preparation with reliability and efficiency.
