The flow chart demonstrates a process by which professional coconut oil is produced.
Overall, the procedure entails ten consecutive stages, beginning with harvesting ripe coconuts and culminating in the shipment of the end-product. Notably, not only does this process involve human labor for the harvesting and dehusking phases, but also relies on specialized machinery.
The procedure commences with ripe coconuts being harvested from palm trees, with the timing of harvest impacting the fruit’s quality. Once they are collected, coconuts are dehusked, a process in which the outer layer of the fruit is removed. Subsequently, the remaining parts are placed into a grating machine, where they are either directed to the pressing phase or measured by weight. Having been weighed, they are dried under the sun prior to pressing. Thereafter, the coconut flesh is subjected to hydraulic pressing, from which the oil is extracted.
The semi-processed oil is clarified by being boiled in a container, thereby ensuring that the impurities are removed. Following this, the product is filtered through the use of turbines and funnels. The extracted oil is then poured into various packaging bottles and containers. Finally, the bottles are placed into wooden boxes, and loaded onto ships to deliver the product overseas, thus marking the end of the procedure.
