DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BAMBOO MAT MAKING MACHINE

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

In social, economic and ecological terms bamboo is one of the non-timber forest products of the developing countries, especially in Asia. Therefore numerous technologies being developed for the processing of the bamboo and for the production of several bamboo products. As the modern trend is approaching more towards handcrafted art and natural artifacts specially products with bamboo mat as a raw agent, the demand for such hand-crafted arts has increased tremendously. To meet this increasing market demand there is always a need for advancement in the conventional production techniques to counter balance the ever-increasing market demand for such handcrafted arts. As the handicrafts are produced by the labour, also it is quite difficult to weave and time consuming process. So to overcome this difficulty and to minimize the stress on the worker, an attempt has been made to design Bamboo mat making machine, which is simple in design and even can be handled by unskilled labour. The machine consists of simple working mechanism so that it will be feasible to operate and to get the desired output.
