Abaca
fibers - sorted and classified - are then pressed into bales
using the baling press seen in the background |
here are vast amounts of indigenous fibers that can be found in asia
. Some of which especially thrive in the country's tropical
climate including the world-famous Abaca fiber and Pina (Pineapple)
fiber.
The process of extraction
varies from plant to plant but the rest of our operations is generally
the same. This section will touch on the standard operating procedure
of our company with regards to the procesing of the Abaca fiber. It
is provided to give an insight into the laborous process entailed
in this industry as well as the strict quality inspection we subject
our product to. At ,
we believe only in the best. |
The
first step in the process of extracting the Abaca Fiber is to
cut the stalk of the Abaca Plant. The stalk is round
in nature and will be sliced into quarters lengthwise. Afterwards,
the stalk is placed under a large knife. Though small by |
 |
 |
|
comparison, it would look similar to that of a paper cutting
board where the knife is pressed halfway down and is secured
in that position. Then, the stalk will be pulled through the
knife scrapping off the none filamented materials. |
 |
|
This is the raw form of the abaca fiber. The fiber will then
be hung up to dry as shown in the photos |
|

After
the fiber has been dried, it is then brought in for inspection. At this point the fibers are then classified into the
different grades of fibers. Because
is in the business of selling the best, the company separates the
excellent fibers from the rest. When the fibers have been separated.
It is then hung up and combed to remove tangles, bark and other impurities.
When done, the finished product will yield a white, shiny and clean
processed fiber. Only
these high quality fibers will be used and sold by the company.
|
The
next step after the processing is to pack the fiber for export.
Our Company uses it's own in-house baling press for this purpose.
Every bale is then
tied and packed with Polyethylene plastic and covered
with a sack to ensure |
 |
 |
that our clients receive secured quality fibers
is
known for and also varieties of fibers not too commercially available |
