Stramit turns straw into building material

Trippy machine that converts straw into wall construction material. Just when you thought you saw everything, you can find this in Ft. Worth, TX!

[@durrapanel]

We currently manufacture & license these machines to make Durra Panel (Stamit board back in the 60's - 80's). We have engineered & updated the machine over the years to now produce a strong ridged panel.

The straw comes from fields in Texas. The machine is located in Ft. Worth, Texas.

What price of full project

[@soloTraveller-ye4hf]

Sir, Can you please help me by knowing the total setup cost of this plant?

[@teckeleddie]

Hello.It is a so called Stramit machine.It could well be the Nr 1 machine from Yaxley Eye in England.It looks like it has had some modifications to keep down the dust down.I believe this machine was overhauled in early 1998 then put into storage at Eleco Holdings before going to the States.I know it had had all the electrics converted from 50 hz to 60 hz.I think this machine was next to the number 3 machine and was running 12 hour shifts where as the number 3 machine ran 24 hour shifts till the end of the 1990's.

[@MrBoneheaddave]

You may be right. The owners of Stramit USA did buy this machine from England. The machine is currently running 5 days a week, and they are producing buildings that are being installed in Africa, and other developing Nations.

Where it does come from? Is it China?

[@teckeleddie]

No Jan it is not from china. It comes from England.

[@janbares1279]

Yes but when it was recorded?

[@teckeleddie]

I think this was recorded in 2012.

[@MrBoneheaddave]

I recorded this in 2015, in Fort Worth, TX.... Currently, the machine is in Africa, and is NOT functioning, since I understand there is no power!

[@teckeleddie]

It is in Nairobi,Kenya. It was installed this year.

[@ramavijaya148]

sir this video shows, straw, then the final product -board. Nobody will copy your process or machine, but a small description or even a general video could have been better, to understand the process first

[@jamessnowden6196]

Very apt question...that was my concern too....did they perform defibration

[@ramavijaya148]

@@jamessnowden6196 THE critical ingredient is the binder o r resin which bindes the straw. it could be a urea formaldehyde or csnl based or any resin , which is the trade secret. bUT NO USE IN JUST SHOWING THE MACHINE -IT IS LIKE showing the rocket landing in moon. nothing u can do.
