Design and Fabrication of Coir Pith briquetting Machine
Small scale industries play a major role in the economic development of India, to enhance its growth and to effectively utilize the renewable energy, waste products to be reused one such product is coir pith. Coir Pith is the spongy, peat like residue from the processing of coconut husk and it is pressed to required thickness in order to make it as pith briquettes. Coir is mainly used in exporting and in agricultural field, as it is good absorbent of the water. It maintains the moisture content of the pith to enhance the quality of the product. The purpose of this project work is to design and fabricate “COIR PITH PREOUETTING MACHINE” for maintaining the growth of the plants in the potting medium with less consumption of electricity and labors.
