Canfiber Inc. was formed in 2012 to further the innovation of hemp processing machinery In Canada. Prior to formation, three years of practical research and development went into working with the legendary fibre to use it's strength against itself to peel the outer fiber from the woody core using minimal energy to do so.

After perfecting the process and demonstrating the technology for the National Research Council, they have committed to paying 80% of labour and 50% of contractor costs up to $75,000 to develop the M6RS machine.

Collaboration with hemp industry leaders has allowed us to tailor the process to meet their requirements. By nurturing innovation in this sector, we project the cost of hemp oil will go down to the point of viability in the biodiesel market. Further, this lowers costs for the fibre to compete against fiberglass and fossil made products. The trees will thank you, as will our children's children, with your support of Canfiber.

The Basics

The Canfiber M6 Ribbon Separator implement is an agricultural implement for in-field, on-the-fly hemp fibre processing. This means that once the seed has been removed from the top of the plant, the rest of the plant (the stalk) can be separated into two very usable fibres.

The machine is to be tractor-driven and run in the field while the plant is still green, allowing for clean separation. The hurd will air dry in a windrow to be retrieved later, while the bast ribbon fibre is collected and sent to be processed off-site at textile, composite, insulation, and building material manufacturers.
