Reliable, High-Performance Coconut Processing for Mayora Group, Indonesia

Technical Snapshot

Problem

• Mayora required a fully integrated processing solution for large-scale Desiccated Coconut production.
• The plant required processing capacity exceeding 120,000 coconuts per day.
• The complete process needed to operate continuously from raw coconut intake through drying and final packing.
• Low maintenance requirements and long-term operational reliability were key project expectations.
• The system also needed to maintain consistent product quality during high-volume commercial operation.

Proposed Solution

• Gem Drytech designed and supplied a complete end-to-end Desiccated Coconut Processing Line.
• The system integrated raw coconut receiving, unloading, drilling, water extraction, deshelling, blanching, drying, conveying, finishing, and packing operations.
• A multi-stage drying system was incorporated for controlled and consistent product drying.
• The complete line was engineered as an interconnected production system rather than a collection of standalone machines.
• Gem Drytech also supported on-site installation, commissioning, operator training, and final system handover.

Result

• The complete coconut processing line was installed and accepted by the client.
• The plant has reportedly operated continuously for more than six years.
• Operational performance has remained stable with minimal reported downtime.
• Spare-parts consumption has reportedly remained below 0.5% over six years of operation.
• Low maintenance requirements have contributed to a reduced lifecycle operating cost.
• The system has supported consistent Desiccated Coconut production at industrial scale.

Conclusion

• The Mayora project demonstrates Gem Drytech’s capability to execute complex, high-capacity coconut-processing projects in international markets.
• The project combines complete process engineering, multi-stage drying, material handling, finishing, and packing into one integrated production system.
• Long-term operation and low reported spare consumption demonstrate the importance of designing for lifecycle reliability, not only initial commissioning performance.

Applicability

• Desiccated Coconut processing
• High-capacity coconut-processing plants
• Integrated raw coconut-to-packed-product production lines
• Plants requiring multi-stage drying and continuous material handling
• Food processors focused on low lifecycle maintenance and stable commercial operation

Execution Timeline

• Project Phase: Complete system engineering and equipment supply.
• Installation Phase: Full mechanical and process-line integration.
• Commissioning: System commissioning and operational trials completed.
• Handover: Operator training and transition to commercial production.
• Long-Term Operation: More than 6 years of reported continuous service.

Project Validation

• The complete production line was installed and accepted by the client.
• All major processing sections—including unloading, drilling, deshelling, drying, conveying, and finishing—were integrated into the project.
• The system successfully transitioned from installation and commissioning to commercial operation.
• Long-term operation and low reported spare usage provide strong evidence of equipment reliability and lifecycle performance.
