In the manufacture of coir pith production M/s. Bloom and Peat Products Pvt Ltd situated in India, maintains top-class quality control to meet the quality requirement of European and American greenhouse cultivators.  The following are the salient features of quality control methods that are being adopted by the company.

1. Coir fibre mills which adopt the dry decortication process of fiber, is selected for the collection of pith. Wet Coir pith is being collected from the coir mills directly by the company as soon as the pith is separated from the coir fibre. Mills which adopt the soaking and retting of the husk is not preferred for the collection  of coir pith. In this process we are able to obtain fresh pith, which gives a good volume on expansion.
2. This process avoids contamination of seeds and other foreign materials in the coir pith.
3. Wet coir pith is washed with water to reduce the EC by percolation method. The material EC is checked by the laboratory and passed for drying process.
4. Electrical Conductivity is checked on the water extract of the material. One part by volume of the material is mixed with 1.5 part by volume of Distilled water and the extract is filtered out. This extract is measured for EC and expressed in mS or uS. The pH of the extract is also measured.
5. Wet coir pith is then transported to the drying yard of the company and dried in specially made floors. The Coir pith is dried right under the supervision of the company officials. Afterr drying the moisture of the material is checked.
6. The dried coir pith is passed to through a vibrating screen to remove long fibres, stones, and sand if any. The QC department checks the quality of the finished product for contamination of foreign material.
7. This cleaned material is segregated in a wind tunnel to isolate the lighter particles from that of the heavy particles.According to customer requirement the particles are mixed and the homogenious material is ready for pressing.
8. The dried and cleaned coir pith is tested for their electrical conductivity, moisture content and then approved by QC for pressing.
9. From the finished products random samples are collected and tested periodically for its quality.  If any batch of product is below standard, that lot is rejected.
10. In the case of briquette, Grow bag and Bale manufacture random samples are tested for the correctness of the weight of each product.
