The system comprises a grinder for crushing and pulverizing waste phenolic polymer material, wood fiber and porous material to form a powder; a homogenizer for mixing waste phenolic polymer material powder uniformly with resin for bonding the powder of the waste phenolic polymer material, wherein resin is added for bonding the powder of the waste phenolic polymer material, the powder of wood fiber and powder of porous material; a mixing chamber for mixing powder of waste phenolic polymer material, wood fiber and porous material uniformly; a pressing device for applying one of the methods of hot pressing, cold pressing, injection by an injection machine, extrusion by an extruder, or foaming of the obtained mixture to form desired solid material; and an analysis unit for determining a physical and mechanical properties of these boards using a series of tests such as compressive, tensile, flexural, thickness swelling, water absorption, and moisture content.

In order to provide a method of molding plant-based material to mold three-dimensional shape of cross section for relatively long plant-based material while maintaining the continuity of original cell/tissue of the plant-based material by means of simple equipment and process, we obtained a long plant-based material of high density and high strength by continuously giving compressing/drawing deformation to the component tissue of the plant-based material toward the center direction while extruding the plant-based material via the extruding die having a prescribed extrusion ratio and die angle for a relatively long plant-based material long in the fiber direction.

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.

The invention is directed to a machine for compacting agricultural fibrous matter into a board, comprising a hopper for receiving the agricultural fibrous matter; an extruder comprising an extrusion passage downstream of the hopper; and a ram configured for moving in a reciprocal manner along the extrusion passage; wherein the extrusion passage further comprises a movable wall configured for moving between a feed position, opening the extrusion passage to the hopper, and an extrusion position, closing the extrusion passage.

Structures for use in forming products having a wood grain appearance include, for example, a plurality of extruded layers having different colors/shades spirally wound about a longitudinal axis to an outer surface to define the structure. The plurality of extruded layers include varying thicknesses along a spiral length of the plurality of layers and/or portions of the plurality of extruded layers encircling the longitudinal axis include portions disposed at different distances from the longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, the spirally winding includes forming a cylindrical structure, and pressing the cylindrical structure into a cuboid structure having a square or rectangular cross-section across the longitudinal axis and at least a portion of the plurality of extruded layers defining a square or rectangle pattern across the longitudinal axis. Longitudinal portions may be cut from the structures to form the products having a wood grain appearance.
