Coconut husking is a laborious process and causes great pain in hands, chest and joints. Sudheer has developed a new simple coconut husker which is leg-operated and requires minimum human effort in husking. It can be operated even by ladies and children. It takes less than 10 seconds to husk one coconut. It costs Rs.750 to develop one unit. Sudheer has diffused the product locally. He claims that the machine can perform for a period of 10 years. |
