Coco pith production involves several stages

1. Coconut Husk: The protective husk of the coconut is soaked with water and softened in the initial stageof coco peat / coir pith production process.
2. Fiber buster: Coir pith and coco fiber are separated through Fiber buster from coconut husk. Once cocofiber or coir pith is collected from the husk, it is dried, pressed into bricks, discs, coir pots or bagged as loose mulch.
3. Washing: For coco peat blocks / coir pith grow bags / coco peat bricks requiring a low conductivity, coirpith is washed with fresh water and neutralized with an EC level and allowed for drying process.
4. Testing: The material is tested for moisture content, electrical conductivity (EC), and pH level to ensurethat it meets the specifications. The products are manufactured under strict quality control standards at every stage.
5. Drying: Wet coir pith is dried under the sun or in a hot air drier machine under controlled conditions until it reaches the required moisture level.
6. Cleaning & Sieving: The dried pith material is cleaned from impurities, such as sand, weed, mud, stones, and other foreign particles, and dried again.
7. Testing: The cleaned coir pith is tested for impurities, electrical conductivity, and moisture content, and approved by the Quality Control (QC) team. The pith is then grouped as per its density.
8. Pressing: The right blend of coco coir pith, fibers, and chips are compressed into coco coir pith 5 kg blocks, coco coir pith 650 gm briquettes / bricks, coco coir grow bags, or coco coir husk chips as per the customer requirement.
9. Testing: The compressed blocks are checked under stringent quality control standards and tested for moisture and impurity randomly.
10. Packing: The final product is packed as per clients’ requirement and checked often to meet the packing requirement. Coco peat blocks are packed in pallets or floor loading as per the requirement.

Export Stages

1. Packing: The sieved pith is then packed in compressed blocks or bales of various sizes as per the customer requirements.
2. Loading: The packed coco pith is loaded onto containers and shipped to the destination country.
3. Documentation: All necessary documentation such as invoice, packing list, and bill of lading are prepared and provided to the customer.
4. Transportation: The containers are transported to the port and loaded onto the vessel for shipment.
5. Customs Clearance: The shipments go through customs clearance procedures in the exporting and importing countries.
6. Delivery: The shipment is delivered to the customer’s destination, and the customer receives the cargo after completing the necessary customs clearance procedures in the importing country.
