After a brief study of Banana fiber extracting Green India
developed a Banana fiber extraction machine, which can
be easily operated, by an unskilled labour and gives a
maximum production output.
ADVANTAGES OF THE MACHINE OVER MANUAL
PROCESS
Reduces drudgery.
Fifty times increase in fiber production compared to
manual process.
User friendly & economic.
Less maintenance cost and safe to operate.
Clean work atmosphere.
30 kg of fiber production per day.
Superior quality fiber in terms of length and softness,
strength & colour.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Banana fiber extracting machine will be promoted among
self help groups, rural & small Entrepreneurs, Banana
cultivating farmers ( An additional income of Rs.2,500/-
per acre is assured).
