Modelling of a Banana Fiber Extraction Machine

Abstract

Abstract: The paper details the modelling and analysis of natural fiber extraction machine to extract high quality natural fibers from the banana pseudo stems. Manual extraction of banana fiber produces good quality fiber, but it is a time-consuming process. Labor expenses are quite high, and output is low. Hence efficient extraction of banana fiber can only be possible through a machine. Machines existing in present scenario for extracting banana fiber are manually operated and cannot be referred for mass production. The impurities are present in rolled fiber. The efficiency of existing machines is average. It consumes time and the process is not safe. This paper describes the model of machine to be designed for extracting banana fiber from the banana stem. The machine is to be designed in a very simple way such that it can be used by everyone, as the mechanism is very simple
