METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING BAMBOO CHIPS AND BAMBOO WOOL, AS WELL AS PRODUCT MANUFACTURED FROM BAMBOO CHIPS AND/OR BAMBOO WOOL

摘要

In a method for manufacturing bamboo chips, first the nodes are removed from the bamboo culms by sawing through the bamboo culms at each side of a node, and then the bamboo culms are peeled by bringing the bamboo culms on rotating rolls provided with knifes. After this the bamboo culms are roughly splitted lengthwise by driving a conical bar through the hollow bamboo culm, and thereafter the splitted pieces are finely chipped. In a method for manufacturing bamboo wool, first the bamboo culms are chipped, then the bamboo chips are introduced in a rotating drum containing balls and steam is added to soften the bamboo chips. By pressing the bamboo wool and/or bamboo chips after adding glue and during heating of the mixture, products like boards or profiles can be obtained.
