Hemp Micro-Decorticator

Durable, compact, portable

Separates fibers from hurd

The HurdMaster MD 1000 micro decorticator is intended for small cannabis farming and processing operations and for CBD and marijuana producers who want to capitalize on leftover stems. The machine is designed for separating the cannabis stalk’s woody inner core (hurd, shivs, shives) from the exterior bast fibers. The resulting hurd can be used for hempcrete construction, as animal bedding and animal litter, or as plant bedding. With additional technology, the separated bast fibers can be further processed for a wide, wide variety of applications.

Machine basics

Specifications

The Micro-Hemp Decorticator is designed to output high-quality shivs (shives, hurd). Perfect for flower and seed growers, and food, cosmetics, and alternative medicine companies who want to monetize leftover stalks from their harvests; and for DIY builders & hempcrete building instructors.

Overview

Films: [Operation and development]

  • The input is manual, so it means that the output is divided into roughly 1/1 shivs/fiber.
  • Produces shivs 5-30mm long for Hempcrete, animal bedding and plant bedding.
  • We are developing separation machinery to divide the shivs (which can be separated into 3 parts such as fine dust – very good to add for lime plastering).
  • Output estimate is 50-100 kg per hour, so it means in three days the amount of processed stalks is 1-2 ton.
  • The max size of the stalks is up to 3 centimeters in diameter for input.
