Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) is pleased to announce that after months of preparing, its decortication machinery is now being reassembled for operation. According to executives, Temafa’s German engineer, Mr. Reiner Busch, arrived at Hemp, Inc.’s decortication plant in Spring Hope, North Carolina yesterday morning.

Under the guidance of Mr. Busch, reassembly of Hemp, Inc.’s  massive decortication machinery is now aggressively underway. Temafa, the manufacturer of Hemp, Inc.'s decortication line, is a leader in the global blending solutions industry with over 120 years of experience in the manufacturing of fibre opening, cleaning and blending systems. 

Chief Operating Officer David Schmitt of Hemp, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp and Manufacturing, LLC, said it was a long and lengthy process just to get to the point of reassembly.

According to Schmitt, there was a lot of preparatory work that needed to be done, specifically ensuring the electrical foundation was intact. “Duke Energy has completed the process of getting us 3-phase power routed to our facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina. This process involved the installation of several new power poles along a 1 and 1/2 mile stretch of road into Spring Hope, North Carolina. The next step in this process is to install our new transformer in order to get us the 480 volt 3-phase power that we require. This should be completed in the next couple of weeks,” said Schmitt. Duke Energy had required Hemp, Inc.’s facility to have an access road on the property to be able to install and maintain the new transformer which is now complete.

With everything else in place and Temafa’s German engineer, Mr. Busch on location, the final stage of the decortication machinery assemblage has commenced. “With Mr. Busch’s expertise in Temafa equipment, we are going through each piece of machinery thoroughly to inspect it and confirm that all necessary repairs were made,” continued Schmitt. Temafa’s German engineer will guide the reassembly process to ensure maximum efficiency and throughput (the amount of material or items passing through a system or process).

To capture and document this process of reassembling the only commercial decortication plant of this scale in all of North America, Hemp, Inc. has installed video cameras throughout the plant to have live streaming video. Hemp, Inc.’s technical team is currently working to install the live feed on the Hemp, Inc. website, which will be available soon.
