HEMP PROCESSING LINE

PROCESSING LINE FOR PROCESSING OF INDUSTRIAL HEMP

Description of the processing line:

Processing material (harvested dry industrial hemp) is dosed on the input conveyor of the hemp separating machine. In
the separator the flowers, seeds and leaves are separated from the stem.

After the separation, the stems go out on one output and the mixed mass of separated flowers, seeds and leaves go on another, and are then dosed on the inclined conveyor belt. The inclined conveyor belt is designed for dosing the mixture of flowers, seeds and leaves on the buffer.

The buffer is designed for continuous even dosing of material for processing on a vibrating sieve in order to
separate the rest of the stem material.

Even dosing achieves higher quality processing in daily processes with minimal losses. After the separation of rest of the stem, the mixture of flowers, seeds, leaves and stalk parts are transported via the conveyor belt to the screw conveyor designed for dosing into the rebler.

The rebler is used to crush leaves and flowers to a fraction of 0-3 mm (< 2 mm on average) by pushing material through square outlets and to separate fractions of broken small branches, stem, stalk and seeds through the back output outlet – so called CBD preparation material. Under the sieve there is an output outlet for separated parts of the leaf blade and flowers.

On vibrational sieve mixture is sieved once again in order to separate stalk and small stem parts, and the mixture
of leaf parts and flowers is dosed directly into the bags via screw conveyor for filling the bags.

On the back part of the rebler there is a mixture of seeds, branches and stem output. The mixture is sieved on
vibrational sieve in order to separate the seed material out of the mixture.

As a final step of seed separation, the seed is dosed into the pneumatic separator, in order to separate light weight fraction and get the clean seeds as second output, beside the CBD preparation material.

SUMMARY

In summary, the Hemp Processing line allows you to input the full stalks with the leaves, flowers, and seeds attached to it, leaving the final outputs as the separated:

  • Stalks
  • Flowers & leaves grinded
  • Seeds
  • From this point onwards the dried grinded flowers and leaves are ready to be put into an extraction system, like a Supercritical Co2 extraction machine for example.
  • The stalks will be ready to be processed through a decorticator, after being retted, for fibre extraction.
  • And the separated hemp seeds will be collected in a bag, ready for its intended commercial use.
