BROWN COIR FIBER

1. The production process for  brown coir is a 2 - step process unlike the  white fiber. This is because brown husks are dry and very hard to break.

2. First the brown husks are fed into the auto feeder. The 1st decorticator  breaks the brown husks into small pieces as shown in the picture to the left.

3. This is then stacked on cement concreted floors and is heavily watered.  This is left undisturbed for  7 to 10 days.  The amount of watering done and the period for which it is left undisturbed  determines quality

4. After 10 days , this crude fiber is fed into all the 4 decorticators to produce the brown Coir fiber.
