COIR PITH BLOCK MAKING UNIT


1. INTRODUCTION
Coir pith is collected during the process of coir fibre extraction from coconut husk.
About 2 kg of pith is obtained for every kg of fibre extracted. Till recent year, it was
considered as waste and research has found many applications of coir pith. It is ecofriendly and bio-degradable.
Coir pith is used as combustible fuel in boilers in some countries as the colorific of coir
pith is high. Also it is used as an organic fertilizer in horticulture and floriculture as a
soil conditioner and substitute for soil. Its water retaining capacity and
compressibility besides light weight are the main characteristics which make it widely
applicable.
2. MARKET
Huge quantities of coir pith are available at coir fibre extraction units due to nonutilisation. Several products have been developed based on coir pith. There is very
good market potential for coir pith products in export sector as many countries where
coconut cultivation is not in practice require this material. Good scope in tribal areas
where raw material is available.
3. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The coir pith is dried and screened for removal of foreign matter. The coir pith is then
mixed with binding agent and is compressed into blocks in the block making machine.
The blocks are then packed in moisture proof bags, so that the product does not get
wet and disintegrated during transit.
