Hiriyur is located 40 km away from the Chitradurga district in Karnataka state. Hiriyur is one of the major producer of coconuts due to good climatic conditions and abundant availability of Vedavati river water. Coir is the natural fiber which is extracted from coconut. The fiber which is extracted from coconut husk is processed in automated machines to remove the fiber.

The coir is refined and spinned using modern automated machines. In this process, the cleaned coir is dried and it is taken to the spinning machine. The coir are continuously fed into the fiber tray, the coir automatically twisted and rolled in a container which is placed at the other end of the machine. This roughly spinned coir is again fed into the  ply-yarn spinning machine. The final twisting of coir is done by the two spools which are attached to the machine. These automated machines are run by single operator.
