The Punnaku (Oil Cake) and Copra (Dry Coconut) Cutter Machine is a specialized industrial tool designed to slice dried coconut halves (copra) and hard oil cakes into smaller, uniform pieces, primarily to facilitate efficient oil extraction in oil mills. These machines are crucial for reducing the size of raw materials to increase the yield of oil presses. Key Features and Specifications Capacity: Ranges from small-scale units (50 kg/hr) to high-capacity commercial units (up to 300–500 kg/hr). Motor Power: Typically powered by 1 HP to 5 HP motors, available in both single-phase (220V) and three-phase (440V) configurations. Material: Usually constructed with heavy-duty Mild Steel (MS) or Stainless Steel (SS) for durability and easy cleaning. Blade Type: High-Speed Steel (HSS) or hardened EN8 steel blades, which ensure efficient cutting. Structure: Often features a hopper for feeding and a compact design, making them suitable for small-to-medium enterprises. Function and Working Principle Feeding: The dried copra or oil cake (punnaku) is loaded into the hopper. Cutting: As the material passes through the machine, high-speed rotary blades cut the pieces to a uniform size (often 4–5 mm). Output: The shredded, smaller pieces are collected, ready for processing in an oil expeller. Benefits in Industrial Application Increased Oil Yield: By breaking down hard copra into smaller pieces, the oil expeller can extract oil more efficiently. Time & Labour Saving: These machines reduce manual labor significantly, processing up to 250-300 kg per hour. Improved Efficiency: They are designed for continuous, high-speed performance in oil milling plants. Reduced Wastage: Ensures uniform cutting, minimizing raw material wastage. Common Applications Oil Mills: Primary use in crushing copra for coconut oil. Punnaku Processing: Breaking down oil cakes for livestock feed or further processing. Food Industry: Preparing dry coconut for various culinary uses. Price Range and Availability Price: Typically ranges between ₹10,000 to ₹25,000+ depending on motor capacity, material (SS/MS), and output capacity.
