Collection: Banana Fibers Fabric
A special machine is designed and developed for the extraction of banana fibres in a mechanically automated manner. It consisted mainly of two horizontal beams whereby a carriage with an attached and specially designed comb, could move back and forth.The fibre extraction using this technique could be performed simply by placing a cleaned part of the banana stem on the fixed platform of the machine,
and clamped at the ends by jaws. This eliminated relative movement of the stem and avoided premature breakage of the fibres. This is followed by cleaning and drying of the fibres in a chamber at 20 degree C for three hours.
