Development a Prototype of a Hemp Fiber Spinning Machine for Produce Hemp Fiber from Waste Fiber

Abstract

The objective of this research is to: 1) to study and extract knowledge about the fiber making process hemp from leftover hemp fiber 2) To develop a prototype of a hemp fiber spinning machine from leftover hemp fiber. This research study is a participatory action research with the community. Using the sample is Dao Mang Community Enterprise Hemp cloth work, number of 15 people, sample selection using purposive sampling method. Operations by 1) studying the production of hemp woven fabric and extracting knowledge of the process of making hemp fiber from waste hemp fiber 2) designing and creating a prototype of a hemp fiber spinning machine from waste hemp fiber. 3) Transfer knowledge on the process of making hemp fiber from leftover hemp fiber scraps and the use of a prototype hemp fiber spinning machine. The research results found that the process of making hemp fiber from waste hemp fiber provides a natural method of composting with water, washing and drying to make it environmentally friendly. The design and development of a prototype hemp fiber blender will have an electric motor to drive the shaft of the spindle and be small. Makes it convenient to use and portable. The benefits of using it are to increase the production of yarn in hand weaving. Reduce labor use and can reuse leftover fibers. Add value and generate income for the community
