HempFlax hemp cultivation
Separating fibre from wood
Pure premium quality
An important development in the modern processing of hemp was the design of a machine
to separate the bast fibre from the stalks’ wood core through a process called
‘decortication.’ The first decortication line, developed and installed in the HempFlax factory
was 77 metres long. A few years later, a second decortication line of 55 metres was built,
which produces an even finer fibre.
In 2009, HempFlax managed to merge both processes together into one single efficient
production line. By investing decades of experience into this production line, employees
have managed to ensure that the fibres of HempFlax are regarded internationally as being
of premium quality. No commercially available production line achieves purity above the
98% of HempFlax.
The machines currently process 4
tons of hemp straw per hour. The
HempFlax process line not only
separates the bark fibre from the
wood, but also the remaining leaves,
seeds and substance. These five raw
materials form the basis for all the
organic products that HempFlax
currently puts on the market.
HempFlax stands for quality,
recognised and guaranteed by the
implementation of ISO 9001.
