Traditional coconut processing faces major challenges: high risk of worker injury, rising labor costs, inconsistent cutting quality, and low production efficiency. With the growing use of coconuts in food processing, beverage production, and daily consumption, manual cutting methods can no longer meet modern industrial demands. The coconut cutting machine was developed to address these issues, enabling efficient and precise coconut opening and cutting while significantly reducing labor intensity and improving productivity.
A coconut cutting machine generally refers to any type of equipment designed for cutting coconuts, which can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic. The automatic coconut cutting machine uses automated systems to cut coconuts with higher efficiency, making it ideal for factory-scale production. In contrast, the coconut crushing machine focuses more on crushing coconut meat, shells, or chips rather than simple cutting. It is typically used in subsequent processing stages, such as juice extraction, desiccated coconut production, or shell granule making.
AGICO provides both fully automatic coconut cutting machines and coconut crushing machines for downstream processing. Our automatic coconut cutting machine is an industry-leading solution designed for restaurants, coconut water brands, desiccated coconut producers, and food processing plants. If you are tired of slow, dangerous, and labor-intensive manual coconut cutting, our advanced automatic coconut cutting machines can help you achieve full-process automation, ensuring unmatched safety, stability, and high output.

The coconut cutting machine is not limited to cutting coconuts in half (commonly known as a coconut half-cutting machine). By changing the cutting disc or adjusting the speed of the conveyor belt and rotary blades, it can also serve as a coconut slice cutting machine.
This flexibility makes coconut cutting machine a perfect solution for producing both coconut halves and premium coconut slices for the food and snack industry.
The young coconut half cutting machine, also known as the tender coconut half cutting machine, is designed for cutting young coconuts into halves, mainly for coconut water processing. The cutting machine features a compact structure, low noise, and convenient operation. It is made entirely of stainless steel for durability and hygiene.
For mature coconuts, the common practice in the market is manual peeling or mechanical drum peeling to remove the coarse outer fibers, followed by puncturing the top with a sharp chisel to insert a straw for drinking coconut water. However, this method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and significantly reduces the utilization value of coconuts.
As a front-end equipment in the coconut processing line, the young coconut half cutting machine provides mechanized operation for coconut milk and coconut meat extraction. It ensures a high extraction rate, stable operation, and also enables the halved coconut shells to be transferred to the next process for meat extraction.
AGICO young coconut half cutting machine mainly consists of the frame, conveyor chain, juice trough, residue trough, shifting frame, and transmission reducer.

Power | 2.2 kW |
Conveyor Speed | 22 m/min |
Dimensions | 3300 × 820 × 2500 mm |
Coconuts are manually placed onto the conveyor chain baffle, then lifted upward by the driving shaft while the shifting frame rotates accordingly.
Through the interaction of various transmission components, the conveyor chain rotates continuously, slowly lifting the coconuts to the bottom of the frame.
At the top of the coconut cutting machine, fixed blades cut the coconuts into halves under the combined action of the blades and the frame.
The coconut water flows into the juice trough after cutting. Above the juice trough, a row of baffles is installed to prevent shells from falling inside. With a certain angle design, the shells are directed into the residue trough for collection.
