1 UNITED NATIONS INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION 29 October 2014 THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Coconut Husk Utilization Demonstration Project in Malindi, Kenya 1. General Background Information 1.1 UNIDO is implementing a project in Kenya on quality promotion and private sector development. The overall objective of the project is to promote coconut based industrial development in Kenya through upgrading the technical skills as well as the available technologies at the KCDA Center of Excellence for Development of Coconut Products at the Kenyan Industrial Estate (KIE) facility in Malindi (the Malindi Center), a demonstrating facility for the processing of the coconut husk. The project is funded by the Government of India. 1.2 Recently KIE has concluded the construction of new premises in the vicinities of Malindi Estate, and it aims to equip it in view to better serve the needs of its clients. The below specified equipment is therefore needed for fulfilling UNIDO s mandate. 1.3 For the Phase 1 Demonstration project for economic utilization of waste material, viz., the coconut husk, the equipment as listed below, are required to suit the volume of production appropriate for a demonstration unit. The coconut husk (after removing the nuts) is collected in raw form and stored is in an open yard. The husk contains a thin outer skin, the coconut fiber and the lightweight pith (peat). With the use of appropriate machinery, coconut fiber is separated and willowed for removing dust particles. The light weight pith can be collected and value added by converting it either to coconut pith compost (cheapest option) which is a soil conditioner and soil nutrient using bacterial action or made into compressed briquette (using briquetting machine) which has high moisture retention capacity and is a high demand product mainly in floriculture. The separated and cleaned coconut fiber can be spun and twisted in various sizes to coir ropes of different thicknesses and strength, or woven into fabrics like coir carpets, coir geotextiles, floor mats, and several other marketable products. The UNIDO demonstration project aims at production of coir ropes of relatively thinner sizes that can go into various other applications and basic geotextiles. Coir carpets and mats can be latex backed to produce durable products for use in homes, offices and commercial spaces. Also, they can be used for making healthy bedding material using coir fiber and latex foam sheets (controlled elasticity) and packaged with furnishing cloth. 1.4 For the Demo project the following equipment are required: Page 1 of 7

2 a. Crusher combined De-fibering Machine (This is a two in one machine combining a decorticator and a de-fibering machine, so that in one go, the fed-in husk is separated into coir fiber and pith). b. Willowing Machine c. Automatic Spinning Machine d. Geotextile Weaving Machine e. Pith Briquetting Machine f. Laboratory set up required for Pith Composting g. Coconut De-husking machine The machine sizing is based on the requirement of processing 6000 husks per day, and for utilizing the output in the first stage fully to the end product. Page 2 of 7
