According to the different characteristics of the thickness and toughness between the coconut and coconut shell, a new double spring rotary separation machine for the coconut and coconut shell was designed based on single chip microcomputer. The simulation results showed that the machine worked at an effective area ratio of 98.68%, the average error area of each coconut was not more than 4%. In addition, the average processing time for each coconut was 12 seconds, and 286 coconuts could be processed per hour.
