5P's Cocopeat Specifications...

Cocopeat

Cocopeat is an ideal substitute for peat moss, and has the following uses;
As a soil supplement: Re-hydrated coir block mixed with soil improves water holding capacity and aeration.
For seed generation: Coir dust in starter containers speeds up germination and profuse rooting of seedlings.
For tissue culture: Wetted coir brick in poly bags encourages initial growth phase of tissue cultured plants and grafted seedlings.
Advantages:
Provides good water retention property to soil.
Increases soil aeration
Enhances soil wetting.
Acts as a solid potting medium and substratum for plants.

Manufacturing process:

5P's Cocopeat is manufactured in alliance with quality assured briquetting facilities that extend atleast over an area of two acres of land, with separate areas earmarked for storing and processing raw coir pith, a concrete drying yard, briquetting shed and secured storage area.

Raw coir pith is normally left to be washed naturally through atleast one monsoon season. To ensure that we get the right EC level, we ensure that washing of pith is done only with clean and soft water which also helps in removing impurities.

The washed coir pith is then spread out on a concrete drying yard to ensure uniform drying. Moisture is always kept at less than 10% in the finished product.

The washed and dried coir pith is then graded in order to remove long fibres and it is further graded into fine and coarse pith particles of appropriate screen / mesh sizes. Coarse particles have a higher water retaining and expansion capacity of 65 to 80 litres. Fine coir pith has an expansion / water holding capacity of about 40 to 45litres.

The briquetting section is equipped with a modern, hydraulic blocking making machine (works on volumetric basis) that could produce cocopeat blocks at the rate of 120 blocks of 5kg cocopeat per hour.

When the order volume is higher, we subcontract excess order volume to other units with stringent checks on quality and packing.

Packing / Container stuffing:
Loadability: 5kg - upto 26tons (non palletized) in 1x40ft hic container.
upto 24tons (palletized) in 1x40ft hic container.
