  • What is copra?
  • Copra is the dried product of coconut kernels. It undergoes a crucial process of moisture reduction to enhance oil concentration and facilitate easy oil extraction from the coconut seeds in the coconut oil production process.
  • What is a copra cutter?
  • Copra Cutter is helpful in cutting large copra (the dried white flesh of the coconut from which coconut oil is extracted) pieces into smaller ones for oil extraction purpose. Copra cutters are manufactured with varied capacities to suit the requirement of the oil mill plant.
  • What is the production method of copra oil?
  • Copra oil is the crude oil produced by drying coconuts followed by mechanical expulsion that produces yellowish oil. This production method of oils from dry coconut is referred to as dry processing.
  • Why is copra processing crucial?
  • The processing and preservation of copra play a crucial role in the conversion of coconut into coconut oil. Therefore, there is a pressing need to explore the incorporation of novel food processing technologies to support coconut processors.
  • How is copra oil filtered?
  • Two filter presses are provided - one on duty while the other is being cleaned and dressed. Maximum filtering pressures reach about 60 psi. The filtered oil flows into a surge tank from where it is finally pumped to the coconut oil storage tank. Coconut oil produced from good quality copra is clear, low in fatty acid and has good coconut aroma.
  • What is the first step in making copra from coconuts?
  • Harvesting coconuts for copra is a labor-intensive process. Farmers and plantation workers manually remove the fibrous outer husk, then split open the coconut shell to drain the liquid. While it¡¯s possible to process these raw kernels into virgin coconut oil, the meat is often dried to obtain copra, which is then processed into copra oil.
