Protoype for a Coconut Dicer

Tropix Coconut Drops

Tropix Inc. is a Toronto-based, start-up company that has developed a line of Caribbean inspired candies called Coconut drops that are made from fresh coconut and provide a similar texture and taste to a brittle. Tropix has developed four different Coconut Drop flavours which include – Original Coconut Drops, Ginger Coconut Drops, Apricot Coconuts Drops and Cranberry Coconut Drops. Tropix is collaborating with George Brown College to design and construct two prototypes to automate the processes of cracking and dicing coconuts for the scale-up of their product.
