3.2.1 Super crusher

Crusher is used to crush and punch the husks for easy

soaking. The fibres in the husks get softened and straightened
to certain extent. Due to this process the hardness of the husks
gets reduced and will be easy for further processing. In some
areas, the husks are soaked for month in small ponds, lakes or
backwaters to soften them. These soaked husks are then fed
9

directly into the defibring machine without crushing. In order to

reduce the soaking time, crusher is used.
