Engineering high-performance coconut processing machinery that drives efficiency, scalability, and sustainability for businesses across the globe.
Cibus Industries’ Winnowing Machine is carefully engineered to deliver precise and efficient separation of coconut kernel bits, husk fragments, shell dust, and unwanted fines, ensuring a high-purity product essential for downstream processing and packaging. The system utilizes precision airflow channels, multi-pass stages, and variable-speed centrifugal fans, capable of processing between 300 kilograms and 1 tonne per hour. Adjustable airflow volumes, angles, and velocity gradients allow for tailored separation to accommodate varying kernel sizes, moisture levels, and particulate densities, minimizing product loss while maximizing foreign matter removal. The machine frame, constructed with hygienic stainless steel, includes easy-access maintenance panels and dust-tight enclosures aligned with food safety protocols.
Effective winnowing sharpens product purity - our engineering precision assures the removal of unwanted materials without compromising valuable kernel yield.
In validation trials, mixed batches of coconut pieces, husk fibers, and fines are processed continuously to gauge separation efficiency, product carryover, and energy consumption. Results consistently show over 98% removal of foreign matter with less than 1% loss of usable kernel product. Operator feedback during extended cycles supports the ease of adjusting fan speeds and air baffles to respond swiftly to variations in feed material composition. Noise and vibration levels have been optimized to comply with occupational health standards, ensuring a safer work environment.
The Winnowing Machine integrates with existing process lines via modular ductwork and electrical interfacing capable of full PLC and SCADA control compatibility, enabling synchronized operation with upstream and downstream equipment. Automated control settings allow quick recipe switching, while user-friendly HMIs provide real-time data visualization and fault alarms. This machine’s robust design and operational flexibility make it an invaluable component for high-efficiency coconut processing plants striving for elevated product standards and operational excellence.
