A coco peat processing company in Indonesia recently ordered a 5kg coco peat briquette machine from UT Machinery for producing compressed coco peat blocks used in horticultural applications.
This project demonstrates how automated hydraulic briquetting technology helps coco peat processors improve production efficiency while meeting international export requirements.
Project Overview
Location: Indonesia
Raw Material: Coco Peat (Coir Pith)
Finished Product: 5kg Compressed Coco Peat Blocks
Application: Export Growing Media for Horticulture and Agriculture
Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of coco peat. To reduce transportation costs and maximize container loading capacity, many exporters compress loose coco peat into standardized 5kg blocks before shipment. Stable block weight, high density and reliable automation are essential for maintaining product quality and export efficiency.
Customer Requirement: Producing Standard 5kg Coco Peat Blocks
Before selecting the equipment, the customer was looking for a solution that could:
- Produce consistent 5kg coco peat blocks.
- Improve production efficiency through automation.
- Reduce labor requirements.
- Maintain stable compression density for export.
- Support continuous industrial production.
After evaluating several options, the customer selected UT Machinery’s hydraulic briquetting solution with an automatic weighing system and PLC control.
Successful Installation and Trial Production
Following equipment delivery, the machine was installed and commissioned at the customer’s factory in Indonesia. During trial production, the system operated smoothly and produced uniform compressed coco peat blocks with stable weight and density.
The customer provided on-site production photos showing the complete production process, including machine operation and finished briquettes.
5kg Coco Peat Block Making Machine successfully installed at our customer’s production facility in Indonesia.
The heavy-duty hydraulic pressing system ensures stable density and uniform block weight for export.
Production Performance
According to customer feedback, the machine has achieved stable production performance since commissioning.
Key operating advantages include:
- Accurate automatic weighing before compression.
- Consistent 5kg block weight.
- Uniform briquette density.
- Smooth hydraulic operation.
- Continuous production with reduced manual intervention.
- Compact finished blocks suitable for export shipping.
The customer expressed satisfaction with both the production efficiency and the consistency of the finished products.
Why 5kg Coco Peat Blocks Are Preferred for Export
Compressed coco peat blocks have become the standard packaging format for international horticultural markets.
Compared with loose coco peat, compressed 5kg blocks offer several advantages:
- Significantly lower transportation costs.
- Higher container loading capacity.
- Reduced warehouse storage space.
- Easier handling and palletizing.
- Convenient expansion after adding water.
- Consistent packaging for international buyers.
These benefits make hydraulic compression an important process for commercial coco peat exporters.
