Study on Biological Materials with the Dehydration Technology and Equipment of Banana Stems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dehydration processing of banana stems was carried out to obtain plant fiber, and some structure characteristics were tested. An experimental design with different equipment that was studied to discover the effect of the dehydration rate of banana stems. We are trying to extract natural fibers from Hainan immense resources of biological materials. The paper also relates to an equipment for slicing the banana stem into elongated strips and pressing the strips. The result shows that the dehydration rate of banana stem which pressed by Sugarcane Mill (SM) was 57.0%(roots), 58.0% (central) and 51.0% (sheath) respectively. The samples which pressed by Open Roll Mill (ORM) have a lower level of dehydration rate (29.3% of roots, 12.1% of central, 13.5% of sheath, respectively).
