Modernization of VCO Industry in Indonesia

Organic VCO Plant

As the owner of the world's largest coconut plantation with coconut production number 2 after the Philippine, Indonesia needs to modernize its VCO Industry. While there are still many rural VCO is made by traditional tools and modern industry has not applied, then the steps to get there need to be initiated. Some common problems encountered in VCO production scale home industries are:
1.    Hygiene process. The use of simple tools and supporting materials such as water quality uncontrolled make good hygiene is difficult to achieve. In addition, the selection of such an unhealthy place close to the corral hygiene contributed to aspects of the production process VCO. The use of sterile water will greatly affect the hygiene of VCO.

2.    High water content contained in VCO products. High water content in oil can be easily damaged VCO made by hydrolysis.

3.    Production Capacity. To pursue the capacity of medium-and large-scale production of the continuity of raw materials and production unit in the form of adequate plant needs to be put in such a way. Upstream sector of the internsif coconut cultivation should be encouraged.

4.    Organic certification. Although he was almost certain that pure coconut trees in Indonesia as organic since there is no additional chemical fertilizers and other inorganic chemicals, but official certification is required. This is for the benefit of trust with business partners and the price of the VCO itself.

5.    Integrated industry. Coconut as a plant believed to all parts of life that can be exploited, so that the necessary efforts to increase the value added by making use of everything. Coconut water is used as raw materials nata de coco and recent research that the water from poor phase coconut oil can also be used for the manufacture of nata de coco, this means no water being dumped in the manufacture of VCO. Waste for animal feed and blondo for the biscuit.

Coconut shell is made charcoal or biochar by pyrolysis process  thus be further processed into briquettes and activated charcoal. Modern technology of this now available, with  continuous pyrolysis technology capacities from 20 tons / day - 200 tons / day of INPUT. For more information please visit at cmc-indo.blogspot.com

Coconut fiber (coco fiber) can be used as raw material for the manufacture of car seats and spring bed  because of a good fiber quality. The market is still very open, so there is no reason to ignore it. Waste production of coconut fiber that is coco dust  also can be made charcoal with continous pyrolysis technology  for making briquette (renewable energy application) , and with the excess heat used to dry the coco fiber at the process.

Let’s do it!
