Coconut shell powder is an industrial product and is considered to be suitable and cheap filler compared to others. It is easy to manufacture and results in considerable value-addition.

Uses of coconut shell powder

• It is used as a raw material for Activated Carbon industries.
• It is extensively used as compound filler in the manufacture of Phenolic molding powder (Bakelite plastic) as a filler & extender.
• It is used as a filler for synthetic resin glues.
• It is used successfully with specialized surface finishing liquid products (as an absorbent), Mastic adhesives, resin casting and bituminous products.
• It is used in heavy duty hand cleaner pastes as a mild abrasive.
• It can give a smooth and lustrous finish to moulded articles, and also improve their resistance to moisture and heat.
• In the Granular form, it is used as a Lost Circulation Material in Oil Well Drilling.
• It is used as a mild abrasive in shot blasting of delicate objects and of historic buildings.
• In Asia, it is widely used for the manufacture of insect repellent in the form of mosquito coils and also in Agarbathis, due to its long and uniform burning qualities.
• The product finds extensive use in plywood and laminated boards as a phenolic extruder and as a filler in synthetic resin glues.

Market potential of coconut shell powder

Coconut shell powder is mainly used as filler and thus it is an industrial product. It is used in the manufacture of thermoset moulding powders such as phenol formaldehyde moulding powder or bakelite and synthetic resin glues. Powder of different particle size is required for different end-uses. It would be better if the promoters have relevant marketing background. India has maintained fairly steady industrial growth during last 8-10 years. Indian economy is gradually coming out of the grips of demand recession and industrial production is once again picking up. Yet another favourable aspect of coconut shell powder is that it is a comparatively cheaper filler and hence preferred by many end-users.

Manufacturing process of coconut shell powder

Coconut shells free from contamination of coir pith, etc., are broken into small pieces with help of Jas Pounding Machine and fed into a pulveriser. The powder from the pulveriser is fed into a cyclone and the parallel product is collected in bag filters. The shell powder is then fed into a vibrating sieving machine and packed according to mesh size requirements for various end uses. The rejects from the sieving machine can be recycled in the pulverizer for size reduction. The main requirements for consistent good quality of coconut shell powder, are proper selection of shell of proper stage of maturity and efficient machinery..

Key features of coconut sheel Pulveriser

• Unique and reliable design
  • The impact series pulverisers are highly effective as well as nonstop continuous pulverizing process.
• Compact size.
• Dust free operation.
• Ideal for dry crushing.
• Increased production leading to faster return on the investments.
• Hardened & fully machined salving type beaters thus less wears & tears.
• All rotating parts are dynamically balanced for reducing friction losses and noise.

Available models of coconut sheel Pulveriser

Operating principle of coconut sheel Pulveriser

The techno wings impact pulveriser consists of and encased rotor-carrying swing hammers, whizzed classifier for finesse regulation and blower fan mounted on a solid shaft. Raw material from the feed hopper enters manually or automatically roll feeder and as the feeder and as the feeder pockets rotate spills into the grinding chamber. The impact to the hammers on the feed material against the liner plates reduces it into fine powder. The ground material carried towards the whizzed classifier for clarification and the finesse regulators (whizzed classifier) and returns to the grinding chamber for further grinding reject the oversize particles. Classified material then conveyed into the cyclone for collection and bagging. A dust collector provided in the system for ensuring dustless operation and no loss of ground powder.
