| Coir Fibre Extraction Machinery
Units
Different types of fibre extraction
processes are followed in different parts of the
world. Based on the fibre quality and usage, we
manufacture fibre extraction machinery units for
the following three processes
Comparison Chart for the 3 processes
Defibring process
Crusher Decorticator Process
Buster Decorticator Process
Machinery Units:
Defibring Unit – Type I
Crusher Decorticator Unit – Type II
Buster Decorticator Unit – Type III
Defibring unit: Type
I
The defibring unit produces the
highest quality fibre. Combing principle is used
for fibre extraction. One of the main advantages
of DF process is that the bristle fibre and mattress
fibre can be obtained separately, whereas in other
processes, it is not possible- you get only mixed
fibre. Based on production requirements, the customer
can choose either a single DF unit or Double DF
unit.

Machines & Specifications:
Crusher:
 Crusher is used to crush and punch the husks for easy soaking. The fibres in the husks get softened and straightened to certain extent. Due to this process the hardness of the husks gets reduced and will be easy for further processing.
NOTE: In some areas, the husks are soaked for months in small ponds, lakes or backwaters to soften them. These soaked husks are then fed directly into the defibring machine without crushing. In order to reduce the soaking time, crusher is used

Defibring:
 The crushed and soaked husks are fed into the DF machine for fibre extraction. Fibre is extracted from the husks using combing principle. Bristle fibre is obtained at the main outlet and the medium, short and baby fibres mixed with pith are obtained from the two combing drum outlets

Cleaner (also called Beater)
Cleaner is used to remove the remaining pith sticking to the fibre. In this process, the fibre gets softened. This is the final process of cleaning the fibre. The cleaned fibre is then taken to the drying yard or dryer for drying.

Conveyor System for Defibring Unit:
We strongly recommend conveyor systems for any coir fibre extraction machinery unit. Conveyor systems are mainly used for minimization of manual labour and uniform feeding of the machines for more streamlined production.
