Husks are soaked so the fibre separates from the pith without breaking.

Spiked drums tear each husk into bristle fibre, mixed fibre and pith.
Dry
Fibre and pith dry in the open sun until moisture falls below the grade.
Grade
We sieve the pith, clean the fibre and test every batch for EC, pH and moisture.
