Hemp Fibre Processing

Hemp Fibre Processing is essential to unlock the potential value of industrial hemp.

Hemp contains 2 types of fibre – the long fibre in the bark, and the short fibre in the hurd.

Separating these from each other, and from green material and any hemp seed or hemp flower is essential to produce quality fibre.

Post Harvest Processing

Hemp fibre processing is just one part of the material handling required to get hemp from the field to market. Whole plant hemp biomass must be broken down to separate the other value streams such as seed or flower from the stem during post harvest processing.

Hemp fibre processing technology

Hemp Fibre processing technology has been developed slowly over the last 8 decades due to the damaging effects of cannabis prohibition.

A new generation of farmers, engineers and technologists are combining traditional practices with modern technology to produce a new generation of hemp fibre products.
