Processing Sisal
Making Sisal bales
Sisal fibre is exported in bales. Before the bales are ready for export, the sisal fibres must be carefully selected on type, length and color. Next the selected fibres will be brushed and pressed into bales. Sisal bales are exported in containers with condense absorbing devices. Click here for details on Sisal fibres.
