MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541090103 A) filed by K. Ramakrishnan College Of Technology, Trichy, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 22, 2025, for 'automated banana fiber extraction machine with intelligent grading and fiber collection system.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. K. Mukilan; Mr. R. S. Visvajeet; Mr. M. Darrunsitash; Mrs. Sumathi A; Ms. Pon. Rakshana; and Mr. Charan B.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The automated banana fiber extraction machine using intelligent grading and fiber collection system (10) as presented in this invention enables efficient processing of banana pseudostems to create high-quality fibers. The machine (10) processes pseudostems through its input hopper (51) to primary shredding unit (52) for strip uniformity before extracting fibers using roller unit (53) which has anti-fiber-wrap stopper plates (59) for separation. This ai-powered system (56) uses hyperspectral imaging alongside moisture sensors to conduct immediate fiber evaluation and an automatic deflection unit (54) filters fibers according to quality points which are directed to specific outlets (57) and storage containers (58). Waste pulp along with residual material gets accumulated in the waste material collector bin (60). The emergency stops button and operator display and control panel (61, 62) combined with safety systems deliver live feedback that enhances operational security and fiber consistency needed for textile and composite end products."
