Complete fresh coconut processing
One project scope for coconut water, milk, desiccated coconut, and oil
The published line starts with fresh mature coconuts and combines dehusking, manual shell removal, water filtration, meat washing and crushing, hydraulic milk pressing, drying, screw oil pressing, centrifugal separation, optional refining, and packaging. Final equipment must be balanced around the products the factory will actually make.

Review the physical sequence before fixing the factory layout
The current page includes this complete coconut water and coconut oil line video. Use it to discuss material movement, operator stations, wet and dry areas, cleaning access, tank placement, ventilation, and packaging flow.
- Separate raw-coconut handling from clean liquid and packaging zones.
- Keep wet coconut-water and milk operations away from the drying section.
- Allow service access around presses, centrifuge, tanks, and refining vessels.
- Confirm floor drainage, wastewater handling, ventilation, and washdown scope.
Product routes
Choose which commercial outputs the project must support
The source page combines two connected branches. A buyer may use the full route or define a smaller scope, but shared preparation, utilities, storage, cleaning, and packaging still need to be coordinated.
Wet processing branch
Coconut water and coconut milk
Collect and filter coconut water during preparation. Wash and crush the meat, then use the listed hydraulic press for coconut milk extraction before storage or filling.
- Coconut water collection and plate-and-frame filtration
- Dedicated clean-water and liquid-storage plan
- Meat washing and crushing before milk pressing
- Model 325CG-A hydraulic milk press in the current scope
- Single-head filling machine for the listed milk section
Drying and oil branch
Desiccated coconut and coconut oil
Dry the pressed coconut material, mix and elevate it, extract oil with the listed screw presses, then separate, store, refine if required, and package the oil.
- Controlled drying of wet coconut material
- Mixing and stainless-steel elevation to the press section
- Model 128 screw oil presses in the current scope
- Centrifugal separation and crude-oil storage
- Optional refining and final filling, capping, labeling, and coding
Macro process flow
Plan the line as six connected factory zones
The current equipment list contains 23 modules. Grouping them by factory function makes capacity, hygiene, utilities, and transfer responsibilities easier to review.

Published capacity summary
These module figures do not yet describe one balanced continuous output
The current page lists capacities from different sections and operating bases. Use them to identify bottlenecks and questions, then request a mass-balance and shift calculation for the selected products.
| Section | Published reference | Line-balance question |
|---|---|---|
| Coconut meat washing | 10 tons/day | What operating hours, water use, and prepared-meat output support this figure? |
| Coconut milk pressing | 80% extraction-rate reference | Is this mass yield, liquid recovery, or another basis, and for what prepared material? |
| Desiccated coconut dryer | 5 tons/day and 350 kg wet material/hour | What inlet moisture, outlet moisture, and hours reconcile the two values? |
| Two Model 128 screw presses | 160 kg/hour per machine | Can the dryer and elevators supply both presses continuously at the specified feed condition? |
| Decanter centrifuge | 100 kg/hour | How will this section receive the combined oil flow and what does the feed-rate unit represent? |
| S600 refining | 500 kg per 24 hours | How much crude oil is buffered, and how often will the batch refining section operate? |
| Total installed power | Approximately 130-150 kW depending on configuration and load | Request the final motor list, simultaneous-load estimate, and utility schedule for the selected scope. |
Request a product-by-product mass balance
The factory may sell water, milk, desiccated coconut, crude oil, refined oil, or several products together. The equipment count and storage plan should show where coconut mass, water, solids, oil, and waste move during one operating day.
Buyer configuration checklist
Information needed before the complete line can be engineered
- Fresh coconut size, maturity, husk condition, and daily seasonal supply
- Required products: water, milk, desiccated coconut, crude oil, refined oil, or bottled products
- Operating hours, shifts, cleaning windows, and staffing assumptions
- Incoming and finished-product quality requirements and local regulations
- Water, steam or heat, compressed air, cooling, power, drainage, and wastewater provisions
- Required contact-material grades and hygienic connection standard
- Container sizes, closures, labels, coding, and packaging automation level
- Building dimensions, floor loading, access, ventilation, and destination country
Separate fixed scope from optional scope
State whether refining and each packaging module are required in the first phase. Also identify buyer-supplied tanks, utilities, pipework, installation work, laboratory equipment, and wastewater treatment so the quotation boundary is clear.
The current page links to a password-protected coconut oil process specification and states that access is provided with an order.
