Why coconut shell needs a dedicated line
Coconut shell is dense, hard and high in fixed carbon — excellent for charcoal, tough on equipment. Crushers need heavy rotors; carbonization runs longer than wood; and because shells arrive irregular in size, feeding and handling must be designed around the raw material form at your collection points.
Key parameters to define
- Shell form at intake: whole, half or pre-crushed shell.
- Target product: lump charcoal, crushed granules or briquettes.
- Daily shell supply in tonnes and seasonal variation.
- Whether shisha-grade briquetting is the end product.
- Export market specifications: ash, moisture and fixed carbon limits.
Typical configuration ranges
| Stage | Common options | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Crushing | Heavy hammer mill, jaw + hammer combo | 500 kg/h – 2 t/h |
| Carbonization | Batch tanks, continuous drum | By daily volume |
| Briquetting | Shisha cube press, pillow press | 100–500 kg/h |
| Drying | Briquette dryer before packing | Matched to press |
Ranges are indicative. Coconut shell lines are configured per feedstock form and market spec.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Shell supply | What tonnes per day and moisture were assumed? |
| End product | Lump charcoal or briquettes — is briquetting included? |
| Quality target | What fixed carbon and ash does your buyer require? |
| Wear | Hammer and screen life on shell, with spare pricing? |
| Scope | Conveyors between stages and packing equipment included? |
