Bamboo processing machines are used to prepare bamboo for use in manufacture of handicrafts, furniture and other products.
Bamboo processing tasks Bamboo processing machines are usually built to perform a single task such as: Splitting - separating the material in the direction of the fibers at right angles to the surface (radially) Slicing - separating the material in the direction of the fibers parallel to the surface (tangentially) Knot removing - cutting or grinding down the inter-segmental nodes. Planing - smoothing the top, bottom and/or side surfaces of a split length Cross cutting - cutting a length of stem into shorter sections Incense stick making Stick sizing Polishing Curving
Multi-task processing machines A new machine developed in Nagaland, India performs four tasks on a single platform – planing, curving, polishing and knot removing. It was recognized by the National Innovation Foundation – India in their fifth biennial competition.
