Contribution a l’industrialisation d’un procès traditionnel de fabrication d’un tapis naturel a base des fibres de l’écorce de baobab « adansonia digitata ».

Abstract

The environment is the major concern of contemporary industry. Thus, the integration of new ecological materials is of capital necessity. Research is done every day with the aim of discovering new biodegradable fibrous textile materials. These will be used in various fields of application, in order to preserve the environment. It is with this in mind that our choice fell on BAOBAB's vegetable fiber. The shortcomings observed in its use inspired us, hence the theme: "contribution to the industrialization of a traditional process for manufacturing a natural carpet made from baobab bark fibers" It aims to promote the use and marketing of vegetable fibers extracted from fibers of the bark of baobab "ADANSONIA DIGITATA" commonly called "BAOBAB". In general, these fibers are used in our households as rope to tie our wood and our cattle. They withstand many constraints (mechanical, physical and chemical). With a view to their commercialization, these fibers must be exploited for purposes other than those known hitherto and it is with this in mind that our experimentation, by means of natural woven mat anti-mold aims to make them. usable in the textile industry or even clothing. As soon as the baobab bark fibers were supplied, we proceeded to the mechanical extraction of the fibers which were dyed and then spun. The ropes obtained made it possible to make our carpet which generated waste. This result has enabled us to move on to the industrialization phase using high performance machines, including the logistics necessary for each stage of manufacture. The realization of our prototype gives us a total amount of: 35 358 115.61 Frs CFA
