DEFIBERING UNIT
1. INTRODUCTION
Coconut consist of water and copra contained in a hard shell covered with fibrous husk
protecting it from damages. Fibre is extracted from coconut husk mechanically and is
used in making several products with wide applications. One of the products is 2-ply
yarn made of coir fibre.
The fibre is used in the production of different products such as yarn, mats, ropes,
mattings, carpets, brushes, etc. The fibre is also used in mattresses making and
upholstry. The fibre finds application as insulating material also against heat and
sound.
2. MARKET
The production of fibre is in adequate quantities in the State but there is demand for
fibre. In view of abundantly available raw material and the demand, some more units
can come up to make the requirements. Since, there is scope for export also either as
fibre or in the form of products- curled coir, yarn, mattings, geo-textiles, furniture,
manufacture of idols, the requirement of fibre production is enormous.
3. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Dried coconut husks are fed into the crusher in which the husk undergoes the
preliminary operation of getting crushed. The partly crushed husk are wetted b
spraying water for few days and then fed to the decorticator. In this operation, the fibre
is separated from a residuary material called coir pith. The fibre is dried and screened
for removal of traces of pith present. The screened fibre is pressed into bales of 25 to
40 kg.
