In Development

The products and specifications below describe our planned production. Meridian Industrial LLC is not yet processing or selling material.

Materials

Planned product lines.

Three output streams off one line. Each is intended to be screened, dedusted and packaged to a defined grade so a customer's formulation stays stable from batch to batch.

Hemp Hurd (Shiv)

The woody inner core of the stalk, decorticated and cleaned of bast fiber, leaf and dust. Our intended primary product and the standard aggregate for hemp-lime construction.

Target use: hempcrete, precast block, bio-based panel core, loose-fill insulation, molded products.

Bast Fiber

Long fiber separated from the outer stalk. Planned availability in baled or cut lengths depending on downstream handling equipment.

Target use: fiber reinforcement, batt and mat insulation, nonwoven composite feedstock.

Micro-Fines

The fine fraction pulled during dedusting. We intend to recover it rather than discard it, and make it available to customers with an application for it.

Target use: filler, bedding, soil amendment, pellet feedstock.

Target Specifications

Planned hurd grades

The grades below are the production targets our line is being specified around. They are not yet validated against commissioned equipment — final published specifications, and lot-level certificates of analysis, will follow our first production runs.

Grade Target Particle Size Target Fiber Target Dust / Fines Intended Application
MI-10 Fine 2 – 10 mm ≤ 2% ≤ 1% Panel core, plaster, molded product
MI-20 Standard 5 – 20 mm ≤ 3% ≤ 2% Cast-in-place hempcrete, block
MI-30 Coarse 10 – 30 mm ≤ 5% ≤ 2% Loose-fill insulation, bulk infill
Handling

Planned packaging and delivery formats

Format Intended For
Bulk bag (FIBC) on pallet Batch plants and pilot production runs
Compressed bale Freight efficiency and warehouse storage
Bulk walking-floor trailer Continuous, high-volume manufacturing

Unit weights per bag, bale and trailer load will be published once packaging equipment and freight arrangements are finalized. Shipments will move with a bill of lading, lot documentation and the applicable hemp transport paperwork. See Compliance for how material will be documented in transit.

Quality

What we intend to control, load to load

Moisture

Material dried and held to a target moisture band before packaging, because moisture drives both binder behavior and storage stability.

Dust Load

Aspiration is the difference between a hurd that meters cleanly and one that fouls a mixer. Fines will be pulled, measured and reported.

Particle Distribution

Screened to grade rather than sold as run-of-line, so the aggregate curve a formulation was designed around does not shift mid-project.

Traceability

Each outbound lot referencing its inbound source, processing date, grade and test results.
