Process & quality control
Coco Peat Processing & Quality Control — Husk to Container
Nine stages, four quality checkpoints and a test report for every batch. This is how Vimsen Exim turns Tamil Nadu coconut husk into export-grade coco peat — and how you can verify it.
Production
From coconut husk to sealed container
Quality is checked after screening, after washing, after drying and again before pressing.
Step 01Raw husk selection
Mature coconut husk from mills across Tamil Nadu's coir belt is graded on arrival; damaged or contaminated husk is rejected.
QC: Visual grading
Step 02Pith extraction
Husk is defibred and the pith separated from the long fibre on the beater line.
QC: Fibre contamination check
Step 03Screening
Rotary screens remove sand, grit and oversized particles, grading pith to 0 – 6 mm.
QC: Sand content sampled
Step 04Washing & buffering
Pith for low EC grades is washed with fresh river water to flush out natural sodium and potassium; buffered grade is treated with calcium nitrate.
QC: EC tested until on target
Step 05Sun drying
Washed pith is spread on open drying yards until moisture falls to the 15 – 20% export range.
QC: Moisture checked
Step 06Lab testing
Every batch is tested for EC, pH, moisture and sand with calibrated meters, and results are logged against the batch number.
QC: Batch report issued
Step 07Hydraulic compression
Tested pith is pressed into 5 kg blocks (30 × 30 × 12 – 15 cm) or 650 g briquettes.
QC: Weight & size tolerance
Step 08Packing & trucking
Blocks are shrink-wrapped, bundled or palletised to your plan and trucked to Chennai or Tuticorin port.
QC: Count & pack integrity
Step 09Container stuffing
Containers are stuffed, photographed, sealed and documented, and the photo set is shared with you before sailing.
QC: Final document check
Quality parameters
Six numbers decide whether a batch ships
