Engineering high-performance coconut processing machinery that drives efficiency, scalability, and sustainability for businesses across the globe.
Cibus Industries’ Coconut Volume Control System is designed to ensure accurate and steady feeding of whole and pre-cut coconuts into downstream processing equipment, maintaining consistent flow and preventing bottlenecks. The system comprises volumetric hoppers with adjustable gate openings and vibratory feeders, calibrated to handle capacities ranging from 200 kilograms to 2 tonnes per hour. Through precise control of fill heights and flow rates, the unit prevents surges or starvation, enabling balanced, continuous operation of crushers, deshellers, and grinders. Recipes for different coconut sizes and product variations can be programmed via integrated HMIs, allowing fast switching without process interruption.
“Smooth volumetric feeding eliminates flow irregularities - creating the foundation for reliable, repeatable coconut processing.”
In extensive in-line testing, the system processes intact and pre-cut coconuts of varying maturity and size distributions. Data collected includes feed uniformity, hopper fill stability, feeder refusal rates, and cycle-to-cycle flow variation, confirming ±3% flow-rate consistency and rapid adaptability across product changes. The design minimizes bridging, clogging, and product degradation through careful hopper taper angles, vibratory intensity control, and low-friction materials. Operator feedback highlights the intuitive interface and ease of clearing minor obstructions during continuous runs.
Manufactured with sanitary food-grade materials and robust construction, the system incorporates dust sealing and vibration damping to reduce contamination risks and noise levels. Custom mounting arrangements and modular components support seamless integration with upstream feeding lines and downstream equipment, while offering easy access for preventive maintenance.
By optimizing volumetric control of coconut feedstock, the Cibus Volume Control System elevates overall plant throughput, reduces raw material waste, and promotes consistent product quality, making it an indispensable element of any advanced turnkey processing facility.
