    LAURICO PROCESSING FACILITY

    Laurico, a premier coconut product manufacturer in Tamil Nadu, began its journey as KG Farms and Flavours in 2005, becoming synonymous with organic vanilla bean cultivation, processing, and export. With a vision to diversify and expand its product range, Laurico ventured into coconut processing in 2007-2008, establishing a small organic processing facility to produce organic virgin coconut oil. This marked the beginning of Laurico’s commitment to bringing high-quality coconut products to the market.

     

    In 2019, Laurico made a significant leap forward with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art coconut processing facility near Pollachi in the Coimbatore District. This modern facility has been a pivotal development in Laurico’s journey of exporting consumer goods. The vertically integrated production house includes streamlined units for purchase, logistics, production, packaging, labelling, quality assurance, and research and development. Each of these units works in harmony to ensure the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

     

    Driven by a passionate goal to provide products that promote health, wellness, and longevity, Laurico has earned a reputation for a client-centric business approach, fostering goodwill and financial stability.

    Laurico’s processing facility, spread over an area of 40,000 sq. ft., is located near Pollachi (Negamam to Kovilpalayam road) in Kinathukadavu taluk of Coimbatore district. This cutting-edge infrastructure is well-equipped with updated technology and includes the following processing equipment and machinery to produce organic virgin coconut oil, organic coconut MCT oil, organic liquid coconut oil, organic refined coconut oil, organic coconut flour, and organic coconut sugar.

    1.Organic cold press expeller unit

    The cold press virgin coconut oil extraction unit consists of cold press expellers, a filtration unit, a vacuum de-moisturizer, polish filters, and cartridge filters. The cold press expellers are automated machines specifically designed for low operating temperatures to ensure that the virgin coconut oil is extracted in a cold-press process, retaining all its nutrients and health benefits.

    2.Organic MCT oil & fractionation unit

    Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are nutritional lipids present in coconut oil, known for their health benefits. Laurico’s MCT oil is fractionated using a molecular distillation process, separating medium-chain triglycerides from long-chain triglycerides. The MCT fractionation unit includes short path distillation equipment, reactors, distillation columns, pressure leaf filters, polish filters, and cartridge filters.

    3.Organic Liquid Coconut oil fractionation unit

    Laurico’s organic liquid coconut oil is extracted from organic coconut oil through a certified organic fractionation process that separates liquid nutritional lipids from the solid long-chain fats that remain solid at room temperature. The liquid coconut oil fractionation unit is equipped with a molecular distillation unit, distillation columns, reactors, filters, and storage tanks.

    4.Coconut flour processing unit

    Organic coconut flour is the finely ground and sieved powder of defatted desiccated coconut. This unit consists of a grater, grinder, dryer, sieving machine, and milling equipment, producing finely ground coconut flour of premium quality.

    5.Coconut sugar processing unit

    Coconut sugar is processed in large stainless-steel vats of high capacity.
