Abstract

The demand of natural fibres is increasing in the world for industrial uses to make high value products. An enormous potential of sisal fibre is used in making ropes, paper, carpets, cloth & handicrafts. The aim of this study is to design & fabricate a small scale portable sisal fibre extractor for extracting fibre from sisal leaves. However, hand processing of sisal leaves is a tedious, laborious & slow exercise resulting in low productivity & low quality fibre. This machine has a great potential and needs to be commercialised in sisal growing areas of the country
