The picture delineates the breakdown of the process by which coconut oil is mass manufactured.
Overall, it is discernible from the diagram that this linear man-made progress includes several main steps, commencing with harvesting coconuts, followed by the extraction process, and culminating in the shipping and the distribution to the market.
The first step initiates with coconuts being harvested at a perfect time, as timing can enhance or reduce coconuts’ quality. The next step involves dehusking harvested coconuts to collect their flesh in order to be prepared for the grating stage. Then, a special machine and a scale are used to grate and weigh the amount of flesh required for the drying process. The amount of grated coconut flesh is spread onto a sheet under the sun to eliminate excess moisture.
After some manual stages, dried coconut flesh is pressed by a particular machine, called a hydraulic press, to extract and collect the certain oil, which will be clarified. At the clarifying stage, impurities from the liquid are removed. Subsequently, oil is filtered and poured into other containers, which are packaged and loaded into cargos. The final step involves these cargos being shipped and distributed to supermarkets or shops for consumers.
