Coco Peat / Coir Pith Drying Systems 

Coco peat also known as coir pith or coco coir is the spongy, fibrous material extracted from the coconut husk after the long coir fibers have been separated. What was once discarded as a processing waste product has become a globally traded horticultural substrate, valued for its exceptional water retention capacity, natural pH balance, air porosity, and biodegradability. The global coco peat market spans greenhouse substrate applications, hydroponics growing media, soil conditioning, seedling nurseries, mushroom cultivation substrate, and animal bedding. For coco peat to meet international export specifications and function correctly in these applications, it must be dried from its fresh, wet state often containing 70–80% moisture down to 15–22% moisture for block compression or below 12% for loose bagged product. Kerone Engineering Solutions provides purpose-built industrial drying systems for coco peat that deliver this demanding moisture reduction efficiently and with product quality preserved.
