Abstract Coconuts are widely recognized worldwide for their widespread appeal as a fruit and its multifarious applications, including anything from cosmetics and skin care to fuel and cancer prevention. Coconuts are quite versatile, but scraping them by hand requires a lot of work and time, and it can be dangerous for the workers. Although there are commercial coconut scraping equipment available, they usually include some physical labour, so there is always space for development. In order to solve the problems with coconut grating, this study presents a mechanical coconut scraping machine. In contrast to semiautomated and manual processes, this completely automated machine greatly lowers human effort and danger. The novel characteristics of the suggested design essentially minimize all the risks associated with scraping coconuts. The system is equipped with an adjustable blade that can move in two directions, as well as a mechanism for clamping that enables movement in three dimensions. In little more than fifteen seconds, the coconut half-shell may be mounted onto the clamp. At the touch of a button, the scraping procedure starts automatically after it has been secured. The article describes the working model's creation and creation process and emphasizes how it revolutionized the field of coconut scraping technology.
