Coco peat is a coconut shell fiber powder, which is commonly used in soilless cultivation due to its excellent water retention and breathability. Coco peat has a high moisture content. In order to reduce moisture, facilitate storage and transportation, and prevent mold and deterioration, it must be dried before use. However, the traditional natural drying method of coco peat is greatly affected by weather, making it difficult to dry during the rainy season and prone to uneven drying. At present, the most commonly used dryer for coco peat drying is rotary dryer, and a mature coco peat processing mode has been formed.

Taking a medium-sized coconut plantation and processing park in Southeast Asia as an example, wet coco peat was previously sold as waste at a low price. After introducing a coco peat dryer and processing it into standard coco peat bricks, the finished product price increased significantly, and the comprehensive profit increased by 10 times. Through "drying+compression+standardized packaging", the original low value by-products are transformed into high value-added horticultural substrates, significantly extending the industrial chain.

Technical advantages of coco peat dryer

1. Adopt efficient heat exchange technology to reduce energy consumption. Reuse the discharged humid and hot gases through a waste heat recovery device.

2. Introduce PLC control system to achieve precise adjustment of temperature and humidity. Real time monitoring of incoming and outgoing material temperature, humidity, and wind speed to prevent excessive drying.

3. Adopting a drum type design, the inner wall is equipped with a copying board and cleaning device to prevent coco peat from sticking to the wall or clumping.

Drying is the first step in coco peat processing, and coco peat dryer is the starting point for upgrading the coco peat industry. If you are interested in coco peat business, please feel free to contact us for more information.
