He contemplated the garden of

It only takes about 30 seconds to produce an even, beautiful coconut, when using a fresh coconut peeling machine, and it only takes about 1 minute to peel a coconut (depending on the slow operation) for the coconut peeling device. Dynamic (non-electric) combined with trolley, suitable for selling mobile coconut throughout the city. It is considered a great success in the research and production of the people of Le Tan Ky garden.

Born and raised in a land of many coconuts, he also worked as a supplier of coconut for his customers, so Mr. Le Tan Ky, Phu Nhuan Commune, Ho Chi Minh City. Ben Tre, Ben Tre province understands the hardship of coconut peeling. The coconut shell is very thick and hard, so even though it is the hands-on workers, it takes a lot of time and effort of the workers, while the work efficiency is not high. From that fact has become an impetus for him to find ways to improve the situation.

Initiative thanks to attachment to the profession

He has traveled through many jobs and many jobs, but in the end, Mr. Le Tan Ky chose to return to his homeland and stick to the specialties of the countryside, with the job of buying green skin pomelo and fresh coconut. for customers in HCMC.

Engaging in work, he fully understands the hardships of coconut shellers. The coconut peeling operations are made by hand, with a large amount of coconut to supply to the market about 1000 Siamese coconuts a day, it is indeed impossible to find enough workers to do. This is not to mention the products made are not uniform and beautiful.

After a long miserable time to solve those difficulties for his own work, he began to formulate the idea of creating a coconut peeling machine instead of human strength. There is a good idea but there is no much understanding of mechanics, so he has to research many documents and trace the design with his younger brother as a mechanic, shaking hands with each other to edit and supplement The new machine is gradually formed.

Compared to the original design, Mr. Ky's complete coconut peeling machine is no different, although many parts have to be changed to suit the actual use. The machine has a height of about 1.2m including two blades, a vertical set of blades that can be moved to peel the left side of the coconut, a fixed blade on the side to peel the upper left.

The coconut is placed on a shaft that has 6 sharp iron noses to fix it. Then turn on the breaker and the motor starts rotating. After two adjustments, the coconut will be peeled off the 'body' and on the head, the user only needs to use the knife to cut the two left ends.

The machine has the advantage of fast peeling, giving the products a nice, beautiful and meeting a large quantity for consumption and export. Cutting time for each fruit is only about 30 seconds. The birth of his first complete coconut peeling machine marked the first successful step in his career with coconuts.

Peeling then drinking immediately is a way to enjoy more choices now, rather than drinking coconut from peeled fruits, for fear of prolonged bleaching, but this type of sale is very time consuming if Manually cut each fruit, guests wait a long time.

With a peeler or peeling device, it will be much faster and more convenient, creating a beauty on the street. To address these needs, he built a mobile fresh coconut peeling device with the price of about 5 million VND / unit.

The device has a basic structure such as a basic coconut peeling machine, but only does not use an electric motor, but creates a rotation force for coconut when peeling with the impact of the human hand. The device has 4 functions: cutting, peeling, drilling for inlet pipes and fruit tonic to double scrape coconut rice; time to cut, cut and drill each coconut about 1 minute.

It has a compact size, easy to mount on a trolley with a coconut pod left below, convenient for road users who want to enjoy fresh coconut.

Not stopping there, to source fresh coconut shells after being discharged without being wasted, he also built a coconut shell grinder to take advantage of after peeling as a source of organic fertilizer. The machine is compact, has a capacity to grind 1 fruit per second, to produce cocopeat residue, then add the inoculant inoculant to make fertilizer for plants.
