How much time does the new tool save per coconut processed?

Question

Accepted Answer

The new coconut husking tool significantly reduces processing time per coconut.

The innovative portable coconut husking tool developed by Che Adnan Che Kadir reduces the time required to husk a single coconut from a manual two to three minutes to approximately one minute. This substantial efficiency gain means that skilled operators can husk a coconut in as little as 40 to 45 seconds.
Reduced Processing Time Per Coconut

The primary benefit of the new tool is its ability to drastically cut down the time needed for each coconut. Manual husking typically takes between two and three minutes per coconut. With the new invention, this process is shortened to around one minute, representing a time saving of one to two minutes per coconut.
Increased Hourly Output

The efficiency improvement translates directly into a higher volume of coconuts that can be processed within an hour. A worker using the tool can husk between 50 and 60 coconuts per hour, a significant increase compared to manual methods, without the need for additional personnel.
Potential for Commercialisation and Market Competitiveness

Che Adnan aims for his invention to become a Malaysian-made product competitive in both domestic and international markets. The tool, which weighs about 3.5 kilogrammes, is designed for portability, allowing coconuts to be husked directly at the plantation, thereby reducing transportation costs. The estimated production cost per unit is between RM150 and RM180, with plans for further enhancements including an electric motor and a foldable design.
