Project Overview

• Scope included design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, and commissioning of a fully integrated, high-capacity drying and processing system tailored for desiccated coconut production.

The Challenge

• BETRIMEX required a solution capable of handling high-throughput coconut processing.
• The plant needed consistent product quality across multiple grades of desiccated coconut.
• Moisture levels had to be tightly controlled to meet international quality standards.
• The client also required robust, continuous industrial performance for large-scale operations.

The Solution

• Gem Drytech supplied a comprehensive coconut processing system engineered for continuous and hygienic food-grade production.
• Core equipment supplied included: Power Grinder Feeding Screw Conveyor, Power Grinder with Agitator, Desiccated Coconut Cutter, Discharge Screw Conveyor, Blancher with Steam Locking Arrangement, Multi-Stage Combination Fluid Bed Dryer System, Steam Radiator & Steam Control System, Tray Type Belt Cooler, Vibratory Inspection Table, Inclined Screw Conveyors, Vibro Sifter, and Central Control Panel (SS 304).
• The system was built with stainless steel construction and automated PLC-based control for reliable, food-grade operation.

Performance & Acceptance Criteria

• Output Capacity achieved as per defined acceptance conditions: High Fat – 1000 kg/hr; Medium Fat – 900 kg/hr.
• Product quality met international standards including BTM / STPS / TC standards.
• System efficiency for medium-grade production was defined at 60–65%.
• Operational parameters included installed load of about 241.5 HP and steam consumption of about 3000 kg/hr.

Execution Timeline

• Manufacturing: ~150 days.
• Shipping: ~21 days.
• Installation: 40–60 days.
• Commissioning: 7–10 days.

Project Validation

• The client formally confirmed that the equipment was delivered, installed, and fully operational.
• The system met all contractual and performance requirements.
• Final acceptance was granted after successful commissioning.

Business Impact for BETRIMEX

• Scalable, high-capacity production capability.
• Consistent product quality across multiple coconut grades.
• Reliable and efficient drying performance.
• Optimized operational and energy efficiency.
