A method of fabricating a cork composite material and a cork composite material. The method may comprise providing a plurality of cork particles in a volume and adding a dispersion of thermoplastic elastomer to the volume to provide a mixture of the dispersion of thermoplastic elastomer and the cork particles. The method may comprise agitating the cork particles and/or the mixture of the dispersion of thermoplastic elastomer and the cork particles and heating the mixture of the thermoplastic elastomer and the cork particles. The method may comprise allowing the mixture of the thermoplastic elastomer and the cork particles to cool. The steps of the method together may result in a plurality of coated cork particles being coated in a first layer of the thermoplastic elastomer.

A method is provided comprising: providing particulate material comprising or consisting of particulate wooden material, producing glued particulate wooden material by applying an adhesive to the particulate wooden material, forming a spreading material mat by homogeneously spreading the glued particulate material onto a conveyor on which the spread glued particulate material is conveyed in a conveying direction, and producing a board by pressing the spreading material mat during conveying on the conveyor. Furthermore, a reinforcement material is applied to the spread glued particulate material perpendicular to the conveying direction during forming the spreading material mat and/or after forming the spreading material mat before any pressing of the spreading material mat such that the spreading material mat has at least one longitudinal reinforcement zone containing the reinforcement material. Boards can be obtained, from which panels can be produced having reinforced longitudinal and/or transversal edges.

A system, controller, and method for decortication processing on one or more input units of hemp into one or more resultant products. The method includes: analyzing one or more characteristics of the input units; cutting the input units into a predetermined size; opening the cut input units; performing decortication on the opened input units to separate the hemp into components, the components including bast, fibre, and hurd; densifying the fibre into bales; pulverizing the hurd and bast; combining the pulverized hurd and bast with thermoplastic polymers into a resultant product; receiving analyzer data from at least one of the decortication, the densifying, the pulverizing, and the combining; training a machine learning model based on the analyzer data; using the trained machine learning model to adjust one or more aspects to achieve a desired resultant product.

A housing portion includes first and second inclined surfaces facing each other and inclined such that a distance between the first and second inclined surfaces decreases downward in a vertical direction. A third inclined surface located between the first and second inclined surfaces, facing the first inclined surface, inclined such that a distance between the third and first inclined surfaces decreases downward in the vertical direction, and having a first gap with respect to the first inclined surface is provided. A fourth inclined surface located between the first and second inclined surfaces, facing the second inclined surface, inclined such that a distance between the fourth and second inclined surfaces decreases downward in the vertical direction, and having a second gap with respect to the second inclined surface is provided. A suction blower causes a mixture to pass through the first and second gaps, and collects the mixture.

An apparatus and method for the continuous production of materials, preferably for producing material boards made of essentially non-metallic material, comprising a continuous furnace (1) for continuously heating material (3) on an endlessly circulating conveyor belt (10) and a press (2) provided downstream in the production direction (15), wherein the continuous furnace (1) comprises a plurality of magnetrons (4) for generating electromagnetic waves and hollow conductors (5) with outlet openings (6) for feeding the waves into a radiation chamber (14). The invention is intended to solve the problem of reacting to various operating modes for the continuous furnace and, in particular, to heat up the material used in the best possible manner for later pressing. The invention is characterized in that a control or regulating apparatus (17) is arranged for controlling individual or grouped magnetrons (4) in order to provide them with different powers (L) for producing a differentiated power profile (9), preferably in and/or transversely to the production direction (15).
