Lotus fiber has been known for its luxurious texture and high quality for centuries. It is one of the most expensive fibers in the world due to the labor-intensive hand extraction process. However, with LOTUX’s patented mechanized technology, we can now automate the process, improving efficiency and reducing costs while maintaining high-quality fiber production.
Lotus is among the most ancient flowering plants, initially cultivated in South America. Today, it grows in semitropical and temperate regions such as Western Asia, Central Asia, North America, India, China, Japan, etc.
With its long history of cultivation and abundant resources in China, the lotus holds a special place as a crop of unique research value due to its ornamental, edible, and medicinal properties. Virtually every part of the lotus – leaves, flowers, seeds, and rhizomes – can be utilized for food and medicinal purposes.
Lotus fiber is the natural fiber extracted from the stem of lotus. It has been known for its luxurious texture and high quality for centuries and used in textiles. The traditional method of extracting the fiber has always been time-consuming and labour-intensive, involving handpicking the lotus stems and extracting the silk fibers one by one, so it is considered a luxury material and is often more expensive than other textiles. The lotus fiber fabrics was once used to make robes for high-ranking Buddhist monks. This fabric is now produced and woven in small scale cottage industries across Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Japan, and India, and is basically done by the women as it needs patience and expertise.
Traditionally, the process of extracting fibers is labor-intensive and time-consuming, involving handpicking the lotus stems and extracting the silk fibers one by one. LOTUX has developed two patented technologies that utilize AI and mechanization to efficiently extract lotus silk from lotus stems. This innovation has significantly increased production efficiency and lowered the cost of raw material extraction, making lotus silk more accessible in the textile industry.
