About the cluster

In a modern way, we continue the Slovak tradition of growing and processing hemp.

We focus on research and development of new hemp products or innovating already-known ones. We are a partner for farmers, industry, and technologically oriented companies. Together we are looking for ways to develop sustainable hemp production, which brings value to people. We do so in a cooperative, circular, and regional manner.

Development of particle board

The technology of pressed boards or panels from hemp shive is a “dry” way of hemp construction.

The first output is the board HEMREC 550. Compared to the usual products, this product brings a lower weight and releases the ecological burden. Prototypes focus on fully compostable binders so the boards can return to the biological cycle at the end of their life cycle. We consider this to be “real” recycling!

It worked. HEMCOM 380 board, without any synthetic binders.

Dry Technology

Development of machines and equipment

Machines and equipment for the primary processing of hemp stems are a current subject of development, ex.: in their mobile version for use in regional cycles.

Another group involves single-purpose harvesting machines and production lines. These are in use for the production of the mentioned construction materials.

The mobile decorticator is here. The path to mutual agreement on the parameters of construction, materials, size and performance was not quite easy. We will publish testing and parameters soon.
