Lab 1: Hurd & Fiber Lab

The foundation of industrial hemp innovation. In our Hurd & Fiber Lab, raw stalks are transformed into premium bast fibers and construction-grade hurd, serving as the base inputs for multiple industries from construction to textiles and automotive.

Unlocking the Full Potential of the Hemp Stalk

Hemp stalks are a dual-stream resource: bast fibers for high-strength applications, and hurd for lightweight, absorbent and insulating uses. Our lab integrates directly with SmartDecort 1.0 and FiberOpti AI to achieve scalable separation, precision cleaning, and real-time quality optimization.

Precision Separation

Multi-stage decortication, cleaning, and size fractionation of stalks for consistent quality across hurd and fibers.

Material Testing

Density, tensile strength, thermal and moisture tests ensure industry-grade reliability.

Application Pilots

On-site prototyping of fiber mats, composites, insulation panels, and bioconcretes for construction and automotive.

Processing Workflow

  1. Input: Raw hemp stalks from regenerative fields.
  2. Decortication: SmartDecort separates bast fibers and woody hurd with minimal waste.
  3. Cleaning: Multi-step removal of dust, pith, and impurities.
  4. Fractionation: Fibers sorted by length; hurd classified by particle size.
  5. Testing: Strength, moisture and microbial analyses for QA.
  6. Prototyping: Sample panels, mats, and composites produced for validation.
