Fiber as waste of coconut is very potential for stregthening materialson composite. The Other part of coconut fiber is coconut dust or cocopeat. This substance bind well nutrients so tht it suits as growing media in practicular for plants that use hydroponic methods. Both materials are emviromentally friendly ang give add – value of coconut. Since separation process between cocofiber and cocopeat need special treat in order to prevent fiber from being broken or on the contrary not being seprated. This research developed machine which has capability to slove this problem. This machine was powered by 22HP and 110 RPM engine diesel which is connected to rotary shreder throughtdouble pulley – belt tranmission system. Separation was done by using lane and hole in the cylindrical tue of the machine. The capacity deived was 75 kg/hour. Keywords – Coconut fiber, cocopeat, separator machine
