Banana Fiber Extracting Machine

Abstract: The basic aim of this paper is to design and develop the process to extract the banana fiber from banana steam. With the help of manual extraction of banana fiber, we can produce good quality of fiber but it is much time consuming. Labour charge is high and output is low. So that efficient extraction of banana fiber can only be possible through mechanization. Now a day’s machines exist for extracting banana fiber but are manually operated and cannot be applied for mass production. The efficiency of existing machine is average. It is time consuming and unsafe process. This project is specially designed for extracting banana fiber from the banana stem. The designed of machine is very simple and can be used by unskilled person due to its simplicity. The major components used are decorticator, blade, belt and pulley, motor, and roller shaft etc.
