The paper aims to present the design of a multipurpose machine that can do three operations namely dehusking, cutting and grating the coconut. In order to dehusk the coconut, the procedure is to have the coconut fixed between the toothed shaft containing spikes and incorporate the opposite movement to it. After the removal of the husk, coconut is removed out which is then sent for the cutting process, which has the provision of punch also, if the coconut water is desirable. The final process is the grating of the coconut with the help grating tool which has notches on its periphery. The model would be beneficial for the industries where the raw material is coconut.
