Coconut coir brick making is a process of making coconut coir into compressed bricks for use in gardening, agriculture and other fields. The following is the process of making coconut coir bricks:
1. Raw material preparation
Raw material acquisition: Separate coconut coir from coconut shells and remove impurities (such as coconut shell fragments and mud).
Washing: Wash the coconut coir with clean water to ensure that it is clean and free of impurities.
2. Dehydration and drying
Preliminary dehydration: Use mechanical equipment such as dehydrators to remove excess water from coconut coir.
Drying treatment: Use coconut coir dryers to further reduce moisture, usually controlled between 10%-15%, to ensure that the coconut coir is suitable for subsequent processing.
Drying equipment features: Coconut coir dryers usually use a drum design, and the heat source can be coal, wood, biomass pellets or natural gas.
3. Crushing and Screening
Crushing: crush the dried coconut bran to ensure uniform particle size.
Screening: remove oversized particles or other impurities through screening equipment to obtain uniform and fine coconut bran particles.
4. Mixing and Humidification
Mixing: add appropriate amount of water or other additives (such as adhesives) as needed to adjust the physical properties of coconut bran.
Humidification: ensure that the moisture content of coconut bran is moderate to facilitate pressing into bricks.
5. Pressing into Bricks
Equipment: use coconut bran brick press to compress coconut bran into bricks of certain specifications (such as 5kg, 10kg blocks).
Compression ratio: usually 5:1 to 7:1, the density of coconut bran bricks after pressing is higher, which is convenient for transportation and storage.
6. Packaging and Storage
Packaging: use plastic film or other packaging materials to seal coconut bran bricks to prevent moisture absorption.
Storage: store in a dry and ventilated warehouse to ensure product quality.
