The Process Behind Coco Peat
1. Harvesting
Coconut Husk Coco Coir is extracted from the protective husk of the coconut. The matured coconut crop is de-husked after harvesting. The Coconut husk is soaked with water and softened in the initial stage of coco peat / coir pith production process. Quality is tested while coconut is harvested, prepared, and processed for the result of the high quality coco coir products.
2. Washing
For our coco coir substrate/ coco peat blocks / coir pith grow bags / coco peat bricks requiring a low conductivity, coir pith is washed with fresh water and neutralized with an EC level and allowed for drying process.
3. Drying
Wet coir pith is dried under sun in cement yard as well as hot air drier machine under controlled conditions. The drying process in the cement yard is free from weed or pathogens or any other foreign particles. Once the coir pith reaches the moisture level, it is passed for testing.
4. Cleaning and Seaving
The Coco coir pith is removed from long fibers and foreign particles. The dried pith material is cleaned from sand, weed, mud, stones and any other impurities, and dried again.
