    Coconut Shell Powder

    Introduction

    Coconut shell powder is manufactured from matured coconut shells. The manufacture of
    coconut shell powder is not an organized industry in India. The product finds extensive use in
    plywood and laminated board industry as a phenolic extruder and as a filler in synthetic resin
    glues, mosquito coils and agarbathis. Coconut shell powder is preferred to other alternate
    materials available in the market such as bark powder, furfurol and peanut shell powder
    because of its uniformity in quality and chemical composition, better properties in respect of
    water absorption and resistance to fungal attack. The product is manufactured in sizes ranging
    from 80-200 mesh. Keeping in view of the vast industrial uses, the demand for coconut shell
    powder appears to be promising.

    Process

    Coconut shells free from contamination of coir pith, etc., are broken into small pieces and fed
    into a pulverizer. The powder from the pulverizer is fed into a cyclone and the parallel product is
    collected in bag filters. The shell powder is then fed into a vibrating sieving machine and packed
    according to mesh size requirements for various end uses. The rejects from the sieving machine
    can be recycled in the pulverizer for size reduction. The main requirements for consistent good
    quality of coconut shell powder, are proper selection of shell of proper stage of maturity and
    efficient machinery.
