Compressed format
5 kg Coco Husk Chips Block
Screened coco husk chips compressed into a nominal 5 kg block: the export format designed for compact handling and transport, loosened at destination into the same chips you would buy loose.
What this product is
The 5 kg block is our compressed supply format. Coco husk chips (cut from Indonesian coconut husk, dried, and screened to grade) are pressed into rectangular blocks that stack tightly on pallets and load densely into containers. Compression is about logistics, not the material: once loosened, the block returns to the chip fraction your recipe or bedding line specifies.
Because it is a compressed format, the block requires loosening or hydration before final use, depending on the application. Media factories typically run blocks through loosening equipment ahead of blending; nurseries and packers without machinery break and soak blocks by hand. Actual expansion and preparation behavior should be confirmed from the product specification for your order.
Why importers choose blocks
- Freight density. Compression is designed to move more material per container than the same chips shipped loose.
- Warehouse efficiency. Palletized blocks stack stably and keep storage predictable between production runs.
- Handling. Uniform units suit forklifts, racking, and planned intake lines.
Trade-offs to weigh
- Your process needs a loosening step: equipment, labor, or both.
- If you use small quantities intermittently, breaking blocks may be less convenient than loose supply.
- Hydration-based preparation adds water handling to your workflow where dry loosening is not used.
What to specify when requesting a quotation
- Chip grade: 4–8 mm, 4–12 mm, or 4–16 mm
- Order quantity and destination port
- Moisture requirement at loading
- Acceptable dust and fiber share
- Washing or buffering requirement, if any

Frequently asked questions
How much do the blocks expand after loosening?
Expansion depends on the chip grade, compression, and how the material is prepared. Rather than quoting a generic ratio that may not match your order, actual expansion and preparation characteristics are confirmed from the product specification during quotation.
How many blocks fit on a pallet or in a container?
Palletization and container loading depend on the packing configuration agreed for your order. Contact us with your destination and volumes, and we will confirm the current packing configuration together with the quotation.
Do I need special equipment to use the blocks?
Blocks need to be loosened, either mechanically or by hydration, before final use, depending on the application. Volume users typically run block-loosening equipment; smaller operations break blocks manually. If you are unsure which format suits your setup, describe your process in the inquiry.
Which chip sizes are available as blocks?
The 4–8 mm, 4–12 mm, and 4–16 mm grades can all be discussed in block format. Availability of a specific grade is subject to production and order requirements.
Is the 5 kg weight exact?
5 kg is the nominal block weight. Weight tolerance and moisture at packing are part of the specification confirmed for each order.
