CHAPTER 2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

13

Indian coir industry is in important cottage industry contributing significantly to the economy of the major age industry coconut growing state and union territories

The coir sector has a strong co-operative footing with nearly 2.5lakhs workers being members of the primary coir co-operatives

1. The husk recting and fiber extraction sector 2. the yarn spinning sector 3. the products manufacturing sector 4. the export sector

NATIONAL SCENARIO OF COIR INDUSTRY

Indian account for more than 80% of the world production fiber coir industry employees more than 5.5 lakhs persons. Majority of them are women from rural areas belonging to the economically weaker section of the society. Nearly 80% of the coir workers are in the extractions and spinning section. A part from India, srilanka, Thailand ,Indonesia etc. is the other coir producing countries in the world.

KERALA SCENARIO OF COIR INDUSTRY

Coir industry occupies a unique place among the rural traditional cottage industries in India. The state of kerala also known as the land of coconut in the largest producer of coir in India. It accounts for more than 75% of the total production. It is the most important employment generation among traditional industry in the state employing around 3.83lakhs of which over 76% are women. Besides earns foreign exchange of over 300 crore per year with a potential for phenomenon growth, Inspite of concerted efforts of the state and central government, the coir industry still remains as backward one , due to the completion from products of other national as well as synthetic fibers both in domestic and international markets.

COIR THE FUTURE

The various measures envisaged under the kerala govt’s integrated coir development project is expected to increase the production of untreated fiber in the northern districts of kerala. The long term strategy of the coir board is for production of coir fiber to go up to 5 lakh tonnes by 2010 from the present level if 2,50000 tonnes.

of raw material and finished products after catering to the domestic requirements.

2. STOPPAGE OF REBATES MEP ETC The stoppage of mep of  rebate scheme by the government of  India ha also contributed considerably

the present situation of the coir industry, especially in the co-operative societies, because of the impracticable conditions and limitations of specific purpose for utilization stipulated by the govt of India

PRODUCTION PROCESS The basic raw materials used are a raw fiber. The fiber is at first passed through spinning curling machine and made into ropes. These ropes are passed through untwisting machine and rope is UN twisted. The fiber is feed in the feeder conveyor of sheet forming machine. The thick foams are sprayed with latex. When it goes through heat chamber it gets dry. The sheets are cut into pieces according to the required length known as flees. Latex is spread on that feeds. The flees are present in hydraulic press. For pressing 120 degrees Celsius is used for pressing of inch to minutes is required. After this process vulcanizing process take place 120degree Celsius is required for this process. For 2 inches, 35minutes is required. At tame 20 mattresses can be vulcanized. After this cutting process takes place the vulcanized foam takes place. The vulcanized foam is cut into necessary item by bandsaw machine. The waste obtained from the cutting process is known as comings and they are reprocessed in waste breaker. 15% of  fiber is obtained from waste breaker is added to fresh fiber which is used in the sheet forming fiber.

41

The vulcanized foam which cut into necessary item by bandsaw is taken for inspection. After inspection it goes to the furnishing section. In furnishing section the foam is attached to mattress. Using latex on one side and cloth on other side
