Sisal Fiber Extraction

Sisal fiber is extracted by a process known as decortication, where leaves are crushed, beaten, and brushed away by a rotating wheel set with blunt knives, so that only fibers remain. The fiber is then dried, brushed and baled for export. 

Sisal Fiber Drying

Proper drying is important as fiber quality depends largely on moisture content. fiber is subsequently cleaned by brushing. Dry fibers are machine combed and sorted into various grades, largely on the basis of the previous in-field separation of leaves into size groups

Features of sisal fiber
