At Fibre Family, the Coco Peat Manufacturing is an eight stage process with strict quality checking before they are shipped to our customers.
Coconut husks are processed at our Coconut Fibre Mills to extract coir fibre, leaving behind the byproduct – a spongy material that binds the coconut fibre in the husk – the coco coir or the coco peat, the main raw material for the Coco Coir based Growing Medium
Coir Pith is washed with fresh water to lower the electrical conductivity which is a measure of the salt content, so that plants roots can absorb water efficiently
Wet Coir pith are then sun-dried in concrete yards to reduce the moisture content to the right value so as to achieve the required compaction
Dried Coir Pith are sorted based on their electrical conductivity and moisture level
Sorted Coir Pith is sifted and sieved to remove the fine dust particles and extract the right sized grains as per the growing medium specification
Sifted coco pith is mixed with coco chips and coco coir, as per the substrate specifications, mechanically, to obtain a homogeneous mixture
Substrate mixture is compacted in hydraulic presses to the required size
Individual coco substrates are packed as per the specifications (sealed in growbags or shrink wrapped with / without label or packed in cartons) and are then moved to our stock godown for palletising and shipment
