How to Rattan Raw Material Processing

Rattan is one of Indonesia's biological resources, a significant foreign exchange earner. As the largest rattan producing country, Indonesia has contributed 80% of the world's rattan needs. According to the results of an inventory conducted by the Directorate of Forestry Production Development, of 143 million hectares of forest in Indonesia, it is estimated that forests covered with rattan cover approximately 13.20 million hectares, which are spread across Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java and other islands that have forests natural.

 In Indonesia there are eight rattan genera consisting of approximately 306 species, only 51 species have been utilized. This means that the use of rattan types is still low and is limited to species that have known benefits and are sold in the market. It is estimated that more than 516 types of rattan are found in Southeast Asia

Rattan is a plant that is used by humans to make handicrafts, for example, various types of weaving, such as wicker chairs, food hoods, and so on. After finish the harvest period from rattan there is a process to convert it into rattan furniture. Not as easy as that we imagine that is enough rattan is dried then cut and then woven and become a chair, table and other products. Rattan  factory products require many stages to obtain high quality rattan raw materials related to the durability of the furniture to be used. In addition, quality rattan raw materials will certainly be more easily formed into furniture.

There are several stages that are mostly carried out by factories processing rattan raw materials to eventually become furniture. Stages begin with the sorting in which rattan will be selected which is of a certain standard. This standard will be seen from the rattan that is deflated, broken or damaged by pests such as rattan powder infestation. The sorting process is done manually so there are many mistakes that often occur. Next is the cutting process. 

This process is carried out to separate the stem rattan from semi poles rattan so that it can be used in accordance with its function. Cutting the rattan is done using a machine so that it is fast and of the same quality. Scrapping is a process that is carried out to peel the skin of the rattan stem so that it becomes semi-polished rattan. Whereas the polishing process is a sanding process which aims to obtain finer semi-polished rattan but the book segment is still visible. Making core and phytic is the next process when it will produce the type of fitrit and core rattan. Where the calculation is 1 rattan core can produce 4 rattan sections depending on the sharpness of the blade.

Peel rattan is the next process to get peel rattan from sega rattan. Every 1 sega rattan will produce 4 pcs peel rattan. The next stage that is very important is preservation. This preservation process is carried out to prevent and eradicate attacks from rattan-destroying insects.

To carry out this stage of preservation requires a special drug that works to expel and prevent the emergence of rattan-damaging insects such as powder beetles. This preservation stage also requires a longer time due to the process of using materials and rattan drying so that it is ready to be packed.

If it has been packaged according to the type of raw material, rattan will be sent directly to the rattan processing industry into furniture.
