| Summary, etc. |
Banana pseudostem fiber processing is becoming popular as a great way in creating useful<br/>materials from agricultural wastes. However, current decortication and extraction process<br/>fail to successfully remove residues and inconsistencies in the quality of fibers. This is due<br/>to limitations in the manual and machine designs. To improve the efficiency of fiber<br/>extraction, previous studies and patents have introduced mechanical and automated<br/>decorticating systems. Despite the effort of developing such technologies, these still create<br/>inconsistent fiber quality and impurities still remain. This study aims to develop a banana<br/>fiber post-decortication polishing machine that removes the said impurities and achieve<br/>good fiber quality. The study used an engineering design methodology approach that<br/>involved prototype development, system assembly, integration of sensors, conveyors,<br/>polishing mechanisms, Arduino Mega-based control system, and performance evaluation<br/>using Chi-Square analysis, regression analysis, and tensile strength testing. Results showed<br/>that it effectively removed impurities and showed significant improvement in the fiber<br/>quality and reduced manual labor. The tensile strength test confirmed that the polishing<br/>process preserved the tensile strength of the banana fibers with Sample 1 having a tensile<br/>strength of 35.93 N/mm2<br/><br/>, which is within the acceptable range of 18-45 N/mm2<br/><br/>, and with<br/>two-pass operation producing the most acceptable fiber quality. The developed system<br/>offers practical and eco-friendly solutions for improving banana fiber processing while<br/>promoting the usage of agricultural waste.<br/>Keywords: banana pseudostem fiber, decortication process, fiber impurities, polishing<br/>machine, sustainable materials. |
