A REVIEW PAPER ON DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF BANANA FIBER EXTRACTION MACHINE

The present paper is aimed at to design and develop an automated process to extract high quality natural fibers from the banana pseudo stems. Manual extraction of banana fiber produces goo quality of fiber but it much time consuming. Labor expense is quite high and output is quite low. Hence efficient extraction of banana fiber can only be possible through mechanization. Now day’s machines exist for extracting banana fiber but are manually operated and cannot be applied for mass production. The other main disadvantages of existing machine are impurities present in rolled fiber. The efficiency of existing machine is average. It consumes time & the process is not safe. So it cannot be recommended for mass production. So our aim is to develop complete automated machine suitable for mass production and yields good quality of fiber to increase the production.
