Global leader in coir substrate solutions, Botanicoir, has significantly expanded its production capabilities with an upgrade to its fully automated mechanical drier at its manufacturing facility. The investment has more than doubled the company’s daily drying capacity.
This advancement comes at a critical time as global demand for high-quality coir substrate continues to rise rapidly. The past two years have brought unusually long and heavy monsoon seasons, which created substantial challenges in drying substrate after washing and buffering. The new drying system ensures uninterrupted production and timely deliveries to customers around the world, regardless of weather conditions.
“Our investment in this advanced drying technology is about more than just increasing output, it’s about reliability and quality,” says Kalum Balasuriya, Botanicoir founder. “With this system in place, we can confidently meet rising global demand while maintaining the high standards our customers expect.”
In addition to increased capacity and delivery reliability, the upgraded drying facility takes an already industry-leading product to the next level. Botanicoir’s coir substrates have long been trusted for their superior quality, and now, thanks to this advanced mechanical drier, more substrates can be structurally uniform, free from weeds, and uncontaminated by other impurities – benefits that translate to superior performance for growers.
This strategic investment reinforces Botanicoir’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction as it continues to lead the way in sustainable coir substrate production.
