Coconut Shell Powder
Coconut Shell Flour is made from the most versatile part of
the coconut - the shell which is organic in nature. Since it has good
durability characteristics, high toughness and abrasion resistant properties,
it is suitable for long standing use. The shell is similar to hard wood in
chemical composition though lignin content is higher and cellulose content is
lower.
To manufacture coconut shell flour, the shells of fully
matured nuts are first cleaned of adhering pithy matter and broken down into
small pieces. These pieces are then subjected to repeated grinding in grinding
mills and ground mass, after passing through cyclones and vibratory sieves
fitted with phosphor-bronze mesh, are finally drawn out in different mesh
sizes.
