Updated: Apr 26, 2014 01:30:01pm
Kochi, Apr 26 (KNN) The Coir Board is implementing a project to modernise the industry, mostly prevalent in Kerala for which it is placing orders for new and modern machinery.
Through the project, units will be assisted under “Rejuvenation, Modernization and Technology Upgradation (REMOT) of Coir Industry” scheme.
The board wants to install various machinery items like mobile fibre extracting machine, motorised traditional ratt, automatic spinning unit, automatic mini coir spinning machine, rejuvenated handloom, fibre extraction machine, coir ornaments and handicrafts manufacture and other equipment.
According to a board notification, only BIS approved motors/starters or electrical fittings should be incorporated in the machines in all the above projects. All the machines should be robust in construction run without any vibrations giving required output as specified.
Towards this, Coir board is inviting bids from the reputed coir machinery manufacturers including government enterprises for supply of coir machineries.
REMOT was launched during 2007-08 on a pilot basis to facilitate the sustainable development of the spinning and tiny/household weaving units of the coir industry by providing proper work sheds and enabling replacement of traditional age old ratts with motorized ratts.
The scheme aims to develop the supply of basic raw material at the grass root level of the coir industry to ensure continuous supply of quality coir yarn throughout the year. (KNN/ST)
