Coco Peat

WHAT IS COIR FIBER PITH (DUST)

Coco peat also known as 'coir fiber pith"' or 'coir dust' is a natural, and renewable resource produced from coconut husks by the coconut industries in Sri Lanka, India & Indonesia.

Coco peat is the 'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust' produced as a bi-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk. Coco peat is the binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk.

The coir dust is washed, heat treated, screened and graded before being processed into various Coco peat products for Horticultural and Agricultural applications. Coco peat was first introduced into English horticulture as a growing medium more than 135 years ago.

Coco peat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and growing medium. It is consistent and uniform in texture. It is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges, that absorb and hold up to eight times it's own weight in water. The natural pH of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually high Caption Exchange Capacity - and 27% of Easily Available Water assures that coir will hold and release nutrients in solution over extended periods without rewatering

Coco peat has long been used in the making of rugs, and weaving into landscape erosion control mats.

Coir fiber is an excellent potting medium for starting seeds and potting plants. A by-product of the coconut harvest, coir fiber is a renewable resource. It holds 10 times its weight in water and does not shed water like peat moss. Coco Pith holds and releases nutrients over extended periods, providing excellent oxygenation.
 
The blocks are convenient to store because of compression. To use, simply soak with five quarts of water per brick for 10 minutes or so. Each brick yields approximately 1/3 cubic feet of fluffy, organic potting medium.
You can break the contents up in any size pieces you want and use them in what ever quantity you need.

Coco peat is the effective way to clean up oil and other liquid spills.

  • Environmentally friendly material
  • Will absorb up to 9 times its own weight.
  • Cocosorb is 100% organic , easy to use and dispose of.
  • Use to clean up fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, coolants, solvents, grease, ink, paint and many other hazardous liquids.
  • Available in bulk and retail packaging.


Coco Peat Production Process

Dust from coconut fiber production will be washed, dried, and press into size 30x30x12 cm  

Weight = 5 kilograms

 

Other Function of Coco Peat

  • Coco peat briquettes are use for Potting mixes and soil conditioning

  • The Coco peat can be used as a mulching agent to mix with Coco Peat, Peat Moss etc. They generate more air porosity for the plants to grow freely

Coco peat many use as plant medias for the green house and organic plant. Because in character capable to storage water equal to 8-9x from dry weight hence this coco peat is very good for plant media / media growing. Because the ability of that hence, root of plant that using this coco peat media plant will be more fertile and the end result of fruit will nicer. Plants which in character need very good dampness adapt with this coco peat. This coco peat also have characteristic that can hold up to crop pest so that don’t need pesticide. Crop pest dislike with coco peat. Besides because energy of storage big water hence having an effect on also at usage of more economical manure.

PRODUCTION CAPACITY:

 0.5 - 1 ton/day or 100 – 200 MT/month
