Canfiber is pleased to announce that it received a stamped copy of its Canadian patent which is another step to commercialization of a revolutionary method to obtain high quality hemp fiber. A patent filing in the US is being prepared for the entire system. Its only by sharing video of an economical way to process
After testing nearly a dozen different ways to feed the RD, a breakthrough was made. After much tweaking & learning, the system was validated with exclusive video produced that will be distributed to accredited individuals & stakeholders. “It has been an amazing journey. I couldn’t have done it without a devout faith in the power
After learning of a better way to feed the decorticator, a proposal was submitted & accepted by IRAP/NRC to allow Canfiber to hire a ticketed millwright to assist in assembling the rapid feed system developed within Solidworks by our mechanical engineer. Having made good progress with the chipper & conveyor sections, we are now anxiously
After learning that with the newly configured system required some key changes to the drums, it was decided to move forward using the existing prototype to be able to prove to potential partners & investors the viability of a rapid feed system. Demonstrating with fiber only stalks obtained from Vanderhoof, BC the conveyor was filled
A final meeting with members of the NRC/IRAP was bittersweet in that a new method of feeding the system was proposed that solved the major problems discovered by the NRC sponsored feed system (which turned out to be a dead-end). Considering our options; Give up or pursue a viable concept to feed the decorticator by
When a transformative technology comes along, history has shown us that it usually is met with alot of cynisism- and rightly so. Ribbon decortication is no different. It wasn’t until we proved the technology was scalable, & engineers began to test the ribbon we were producing (lightly retted, golden color, 0.75″ wide x 40″ long)
Canfiber is an Agri-tech development company that is ready to bring its ribbon decortication technology to market & is seeking an individual with a good command of Solidworks engineering software. This individual will be able to take our peel strength data, along with all of the data gleaned from the build & successful test of
Canfiber Inc. has developed a patent pending core decorticator that produces clean, hurd free ribbon fiber! ‘Applying the technology to the field has been the biggest challenge of my life’ says P.Harrap, President of Canfiber. ‘Once I realized I couldn’t on my own, key people entered the mix after steadfast prayer.’ Parts for the prototype
