Till late sixties, separation of fibre from tea was though done but was a big task, during early sevevties, experiment started with plastic pipe, on the theory of static electricity. An additional device was provided to electromagnetise the pvc pipe. It was designed as rollers, which move at a slow rpm. in due couse these rollers of pvc pipe of higher diameter, moving on very slow speed, helped to extract more fibres from bulk teas. The experiment practically struck to a point of satisfaction and tea industry accepted the equipment largely. It was thus named fibre extractor.
