A copra grinder machine is used to grind dried coconut meat (copra) into fine powder Consistency is essential when processing copra. Apart from that, the grinder must have adequate safety and security features to safeguard operators. There are two main types of grinders:
Hammer Mill:
A hammer mill has a series of swinging metal hammers that shred copra in smaller bits. It is one of the most common types of food processing grinders. The hammers rotate at high speed within a metal chamber. Once the copra is hit by the hammer, it is pulverized into smaller pieces which are then filtered through a fine mesh screen. The smaller pieces fall into a collecting bin or chamber.
This type of copra grinder machine can break whole copra into small granules. Furthermore, it is energy efficient and takes up less space. Nonetheless, users may be concerned about safety since the grinding chamber is exposed. Moreover, hammer mills are only suited for grinding food with less hardness.
Full Automatic Grinder:
A full automatic grinder has a centralized control system to monitor and control the entire grinding process. The centralized control system has sensitive buttons, screens, and controls to monitor essential aspects such as temperature and pressure. Some fully automatic grinders have automated feeding and collection systems, which allow for seamless integration with other food processing systems.
A fully automatic grinder provides greater consistency and efficiency than manual operated grinders. Furthermore, it has many safety features such as overload protection, emergency stop buttons and safety interlocks. Everyone knows that coconuts come in different sizes and types. A fully automatic copra grinder machine can handle various food types due to its flexibility and adaptability.
However, fully automatic grinders may be more expensive and require larger space.
Some of the key specifications of a grinder for copra are as follows:
Maintaining the copra grinder is very important to make sure that it is working well and to keep it in good shape for a long time. Some simple things to do for maintenance are cleaning it regularly so that no dirt or oil is stuck there. The suppliers of these machines usually tell the users exactly how to take care of the grinders so that the spare parts do not get used up. Some parts may need to be lubricated or oiled from time to time, like the bearings and chains. The oil used for lubrication should be of a very good quality, so the machine does not get damaged. It is better to put a small amount of grease from time to time instead of a lot at one go.
The grinders can also have add-ons like the crusher that breaks the small copra pieces first so that the grinder can work more efficiently. Both these machines can be combined in a single setup known as a coconut meat extractor or oil expeller, which can help extract coconut oil from the meat in a very efficient manner.
Copra is the term used to refer to dried coconut flesh. Copra oil mill plants produce copra from fresh coconuts. Once the copra's extraction is finished, the grinder machine comes into play. The mill will use a grinder machine to pulverize the copra into tiny bits so that the oil can be extracted.
A copra cutter machine or grinder will reduce copra into smaller pieces for further oil extraction using an oil expeller press machine. Not only does this increase oil extraction efficiency, but it also shortens the time for processing.
The copra grinding machine can be used in the following industries:
Coconut Oil Extraction Industry
After copra passes through the grinding machine, the product's surface area increases, making it easier for oil extraction plants to extract coconut oil.
Cried Fruit Industry
Dehydrated coconut companies can use the grinder to powder dried coconut. Smaller coconut powder particles have a greater market value and are used to make a higher-quality end product.
Food Industry
Coconut flour and coconut milk products companies use the grinder machine to pulverize coconut into finer pieces for production. The refined product is ideal for cooking and baking.
Cosmetics Industry
Coconut is a staple ingredient in many cosmetic products like moisturizers, body butters, and after-sun lotions. These products aim to hydrate and nourish the skin. The copra powder serves as an ingredient that helps achieve these goals. The grinder machine is used to achieve a finer product that's suitable for cosmetic manufacturers.
Biofuel Industry
Some biofuel production facilities use coconut as a raw material. Because of this, copra has to be ground to a certain size before processing into biofuel. A copra grinder machine can help achieve the required size and consistency for optimal biofuel production.
When purchasing a copra grinding machine, there are several factors to consider to ensure that the right machine is bought. The first thing to consider when buying a copra grinding machine is the type of grinder or mill. There are several machines available, ranging from hammer to roller mills. Each machine works differently and grinds the copra into different textures.
Next, manufacturers or buyers should consider the power source of the machine. Copra grinder machines can be powered by electric motors, diesel engines, or even hand-cranked models. While the electric-powered grinders are more convenient, due to their easy start and smooth operation, grinders powered by diesel engines are better for remote locations with no access to electricity.
Another important thing to consider is the grinder machine's capacity and output. The capacity and output of a grinder machine refer to the amount of copra the machine can grind into oil yearly or monthly. Generally, machines with larger capacity and output tend to be bigger in size and more expensive. When buying, it is important to consider the commercial value of the machine and whether it will meet necessary goals.
The installation process of the machine is an important thing to consider when buying. Some grinder machines are very easy to install and require no special expertise. Others may need help from special technicians to install the machine properly. Along with the installation process, the maintenance and support services provided by the manufacturer or supplier are very crucial. Manufacturers want to ensure that the machine they buy has easy maintenance requirements and enough support service to receive help whenever required.
Finally, the physical dimensions of the copra grinding machine should match the production facility's space configuration and layout. Ensure the machine's dimensions will fit into the space provided.
Q: What is the difference between a wet and dry grinder for coconut?
A: A copra grinder machine is typically dry. There are grinders for fresh coconuts that are wet. Consumers use both copra and fresh coconuts; however, wet and dry grinders work differently. A wet coconut grinder will have water piping and produce a milky liquid when working. A dry grinder will not have water piping and will produce coconut oil.
Q: Does a coconut grinder machine make noise when in use?
A: Yes, a coconut grinder machine makes noise when in use, but the level of noise depends on the design and function. Four factors make noise: the motor's power capacity, the copra's hardness and mass, the machine's material and construction, and if the grinder has additional noise-reduction features like sound enclosures.
Q: Is there a dust grinder machine for coconuts?
A: Yes. There is a machine that grinds coconuts into a fine powder that resembles dust. The products of such a grinder are used to make coconut flour.
Q: How many gtococonut grinders are in the market?
A: Many brands and suppliers offer a wide selection of coconut grinders for sale with different specifications and features.
