Coir is a course fiber obtained from the tissues surrounding the seed of
the coconut palm, Cocos nucifera. It is then processed to form various materials
such as coir bhoovastra , mulch door mat , mattress or pad, coir blanket, and it
can be molded to pots. It is also a vital component in holding the soil together
machine. Specifically, the first objective of this study was to design a coir pad
The second objective was to fabricate the machine according to the design
specifications. After the fabrication, the next objective was to conduct preliminary
operating speed, operating pressure and operating time. The fourth objective
was to evaluate the performance of the machine to determine the qualities of the
coir pad and production rate and finally, to provide an operational and safety
100 psi, and operating time of 2.55 minutes. The average thickness and
compressed density of the coir pad produced was 14.0958 millimeters and
