Abstract

Malaysia has 1.2 million tons of crop residue that must be disposed of every year. The leaves of the pineapple is one of the causes of a problem for the rest of the crop in the agricultural sector. Hence, there should be a plan to reduce waste from the plant is burned or decomposed which cause environmental pollution. Pineapple leaf also given value-added products for good approach in reducing the waste in the agriculture industry. Thus, the study is to design and fabricate a pineapple leaf fibre extraction machine. Besides that, it also to test and analyze the pineapple leaf fibre extraction machine by a different motor speed. This is because previous studies only made investigation on the difference in angle of knife scraper roller. The concept of extraction machine is breaking the leaf surface by using knife scrapper roller for scrap out the fibre. Therefore, this project is to design and fabricate a mechanism that can extract fibre from pineapple leaf. Besides that, testing and analyze of pineapple leaf fibre extraction machine based on the different speed of motor using knife scraper roller with the help of vise grip to extract the leaf.
