Our plant processes coconut husks to extract coir fibre, leaving behind the byproduct, also known as coco coir or coco peat, which is the primary raw material for the coco coir-based growing medium. This spongy substance bonds the coconut fibre in the husk.
In order for plant roots to effectively absorb water, coir pith is cleaned with fresh water to reduce electrical conductivity, a measurement of salt concentration.
After that, wet coir pith is sun-dried in concrete yards to lower the moisture content to the proper level and accomplish the necessary compaction.
Electrical conductivity and moisture content are used to sift dried coir pith.
In accordance with the requirements of the growing medium, sorted coir pith is sifted and sieved to eliminate the fine dust particles and extract the grains of the proper size.
To create a homogenous mixture, sifted coco pith is mechanically combined with coco chips and coco coir in accordance with the substrate criteria.
Hydraulic presses compress the substrate mixture to the necessary size.
Individual coco substrates are transported to our stock godown for palletising and shipping after being packaged in accordance with the guidelines.
