Automatic Coco Peat Briquette Machine for 5kg Export Block Production
For coco peat exporters and horticultural substrate manufacturers, transportation cost, storage space, and labor efficiency are the key factors affecting profitability.
Loose coco peat and coir pith occupy large volumes during storage and international transportation, resulting in higher container costs and lower loading efficiency. Meanwhile, traditional manual compression processes often create inconsistent block weights and require more operators.
The UT Machinery Automatic Coco Peat Briquette Machine is designed to solve these challenges.
By integrating heavy-duty hydraulic compression technology, pneumatic automation, and intelligent weighing control, this industrial coco peat block making machine converts loose coir pith into high-density 5kg export blocks with consistent quality and minimal operator involvement.
The result is reduced logistics costs, improved production capacity, and reliable coco peat blocks suitable for international horticultural markets.
Why Choose an Automatic Coco Peat Briquette Machine?
Compared with manual or semi-automatic presses, the UT hydraulic coco peat briquette machine completes the entire production cycle automatically.
After feeding prepared coco peat material into the hopper, the system performs:
- Automatic material feeding
- Precise weight measurement
- Hydraulic high-pressure compression
- Automatic block ejection
- Organized block stacking
This closed-loop production process reduces labor requirements while maintaining stable output quality for large-scale commercial production.
Key Commercial Benefits
Standard 5kg Export Block Production
The machine produces uniform 5kg coco peat blocks designed for international horticultural markets, including greenhouse growers, substrate suppliers, and agricultural distributors.
Intelligent Auto-Weighing System
The integrated weighing system uses precision load cells to measure material quantity before compression.
This ensures consistent block weight, reduces material waste, and prevents customer disputes caused by weight variations.
Powerful Hydraulic Compression Force
The heavy-duty hydraulic system provides 100–150 tons of stable pressing force, creating dense and durable blocks that maintain structural integrity during transportation.
Pneumatic-Assisted Automation
The pneumatic system controls fast auxiliary movements such as feeding gates, block ejection, and positioning.
By separating pressing force from automation movement, the machine achieves faster production cycles and improved reliability.
Continuous Industrial Operation
The PLC-controlled system supports continuous production with minimal operator intervention, making it suitable for large-scale coco peat processing plants.
100-150T Hydraulic Station: Delivers powerful, stable pressing force to guarantee consistent high block density.
Reinforced Chassis: Heavy-duty steel mainframe engineered to withstand high stress during continuous operations.
Automated Feeding Hopper: Seamlessly integrates with conveyor lines for continuous, uniform coir pith distribution.
Alloy Steel Discharge: Ensures precise 300 ×300mm block dimensions and smooth, damage-free ejection.
Smart PLC Interface: Centralized touchscreen for easy weight adjustments and fully automated continuous monitoring.
Pneumatic Automation: Controls fast block positioning and ejection to significantly shorten production cycles.
Applications of Coco Peat Briquette Machine
for greenhouse cultivation, hydroponics, nursery production, and commercial agriculture.
How the Automatic Coco Peat Block Making Process Works
Step 1: Automatic Material Feeding
Prepared coco peat enters the feeding hopper through a conveyor system and is evenly transferred to the dosing chamber.
Step 2: Intelligent Material Weighing
The automatic weighing system accurately measures the required material quantity before compression.
This ensures each block reaches the required weight specification.
Step 3: Hydraulic Compression
The hydraulic cylinder applies up to 150 tons of controlled pressure to compress loose coir pith into a dense and stable block.
The controlled compression process protects fiber structure and maintains excellent expansion performance after hydration.
Step 4: Pneumatic Block Ejection and Stacking
The pneumatic auxiliary system quickly removes finished blocks and transfers them to the stacking area.
This reduces cycle time and supports continuous production.

Hydraulic + Pneumatic Design Advantages
Traditional coco peat block machines often use hydraulic systems for all movements.
Although hydraulic systems provide excellent compression force, repeated auxiliary actions such as feeding, opening gates, and block discharge can reduce production speed.
UT Machinery separates these functions:
Hydraulic System
Responsible for:
- High-pressure compression
- Stable block density
- Strong structural formation
Pneumatic System
Responsible for:
- Fast material control
- Quick block ejection
- Smooth product positioning
This optimized design provides:
- Faster production cycles
- Lower mechanical wear
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Higher production efficiency
- More stable long-term operation
Consistent Block Quality for Global Coco Peat Markets
For international coco peat trading, block weight consistency is extremely important.
Underweight blocks may create customer complaints and commercial disputes, while overweight blocks increase raw material costs.
The automatic weighing system continuously controls material quantity before compression, ensuring every block meets the required export specification.
This helps manufacturers maintain stable quality and build long-term relationships with overseas buyers.
