Coconut is one of the important ingredients in Indian household. It is widely used for cooking and also for the extraction of coconut oil.

It often may refer to the leafy outer covering of a coconut. Literally, a husk or hull includes the protective outer covering of a seed, fruit or vegetable.

The model consists of a motor, gear arrangement, rollers with spikes, and a pressing plate. KeywordsHusk, motor, rollers, Gears.
