Project Report on Coir Ropes
COIR YARN/ROPE OF COMMERCIAL GRADE By: Dr.R.Suresh Kumar, Chartered Engineer
Introduction:
Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of the coconut. Among the natural fibre, coir has some unique characteristic particularly its rigidity, durability and friction.
Coir Industry in India is one of the important rural industries. Although the coir industry has traditionally been associated with the State of Kerala, but now this industry has developed in
Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. . The main uses of coir rope/yarn are in the construction of houses,industrial building, tying ladders, packing of large boxes and also for drawing water from wells. Coir Rope is basic raw material for Rubberised Coir Mattress companies .Now demand is more and supply is less in the case of Coir Ropes.
Market Potential:
As stated, one of the main uses of coir rope in the construction of houses and buildings. Due to tremendous rise the construction of Multi-storied building, ownership flat, shopping mall in the city and urban areas, stadium, Govt. and Private offices and RCC construction in the rural areas the demand of coir yarn or rope has been increasing drastically.
Plant Capacity:
The production basis for a Tiny Unit would be as under:
Working hour per day : 8 hours (1 shift)
Production capacity : 2000 Kg per day.
Working Days in a year : 300 days
Capacity Utilization : 75%
Annual production : 600 tonnes.
Raw Materials:
The main raw material is coconut husk. About 860 tonnes of husk are required for the production of 600 tonnes of coir yarn/rope. Coconut Husk is abundantly available in Tiptur & Arasikere region.
The main process steps involved are –
(A. Collection and storage of husk.
(B. Extraction of fibre.
(C. Spinning of extraction fibre.
(D.
