Abaca is a species of banana native to the Philippines, also known as Manila hemp, has great economic importance, being harvested for its fiber, also called Manila hemp, extracted from the leaf-stems.
Abaca fiber is also exceptionally strong, stronger than hemp and naturally salt-resistant, making it ideal for making twines and ropes (especially for maritime shipping). It became a major trade commodity in the colonial era for this reason. The abaca industry declined sharply in the mid-20th century when abaca plantations were decimated by World War II and plant diseases, as well as the invention of nylon in the 1930s (which eventually replaced the use of abacá in maritime cordage). Today, abaca is mostly used in a variety of specialized paper products including tea bags, filter paper and banknotes. Manila envelopes and Manila paper derive their name from this fiber.
At present, the abaca fiber (Manila hemp) industry still requires a lot of human labor. The drying process still uses the traditional sun drying method, and there is a general lack of efficient and energy-saving drying equipment. AIM has developed an abaca dryer that uses heat pump technology to dry tons of wet abaca fiber in a short time and with extremely low energy consumption. AIM abaca dryer machine has two drying methods: tray and hanging, suitable for drying abaca in different shapes. AIM abaca fiber dryer can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce drying costs, and bring new changes to this long-standing industry.
