Coconut Extractor Design Calculations

This document provides calculations for an extractor that processes coconut meat. It states that a pound of coconut meat yields 5-6 cups of grated meat, or approximately 3 cups of coconut milk. It also notes that a medium coconut 4 inches in diameter yields 3-4 cups of grated meat weighing around 10 ounces or 283 grams. The document explains that arbor presses work by converting a small force into a larger force through mechanical advantages of levers and gears.

DESIGN CALCULATION FOR EXTRACTOR

Shredded Coconut

Density : 352 kg/m3

Coconut Meat

Mass : 1 lb (to produce 5 to 6 cups grated meat)

A Pound of Coconut Meat Equals


 There is ( mls) of in a Pound of Coconut Meat
 There is 3 Cups (711 mls) of Coconut Milk (made from meat plus water) in a
Pound of Coconut Meat
 There is 5 ½ Cups (1301 mls) of Grated Coconut Meat in a Pound of
Coconut Meat

Note: The first thing to remember about arbor presses is that fundamentally, they
are a mechanism for converting a small force into a much larger force due to the
mechanical advantages obtained by levers and gears. 

F = ma = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Since our chosen coconut size are in 4inches diameter, One


medium coconut yields 3 to 4
cups grated meat which weighs about 10 ounces (283 grams).
