Dallas-based Panda Biotech announced that it’s ready to bring its massive Panda High Plains Hemp Gin online and begin production early next year, calling the Wichita Falls facility the largest decortication center in the western hemisphere and one of the largest in the world.
Panda said the Hemp Gin will process 10 metric tons of industrial hemp per hour to produce textile-grade fiber, hurd, short-fiber hurd mix, and a nutrient-rich co-product that will be pelletized. Core Cervical Support Pillow Machine
Hemp decortication means the bast fibers and hurd fibers are separated in a process done via a decortication machine that mechanically separates the fibers of the hemp plant.
Using only renewable energy sources, the engineering and production process at the facility has been certified green by Mid-South Engineering Co., in accordance with the International Capital Market Association’s Green Bond Principles.
The company said it’s “actively signing contracts” with producers to grow the hemp feedstock for the 2024 growing season, as well as buying hemp fiber that has already been harvested or processed. Panda recently unveiled a pay-to-grow program for producers to begin growing Panda hemp, the company said.
With up-front, guaranteed money and agronomy support, Panda said producers also receive tested and proven seed at no cost, successfully mitigating the risk producers may assume and underscoring what Panda said is a commitment and promise to the farming community.
Panda said the benefits of growing hemp are substantial, as it’s an excellent rotational crop that remediates the soil and provides a competitive margin.
