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.

- Hempcrete construction

The HurdMaster grew out of his love for natural building and his desire to build his own house and discover new ways of processing industrial hemp into building materials. He continues to develop the HurdMaster into next-generation models by continually adding features to achieve the highest quality fiber and shivs.
