RTP
CMEC maintains and operates three large-scale presses at our Research Park facility. Our largest press is a pneumatic cold set Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) press that can fabricate 6x12ft panels and up 9-ply (13” depth). We also have two hot press machines (4x8ft and 28×38in) that are ideal for making many natural fiber composites, such as oriented-strand board (OSB), particle board, and fiberboard. We have auxiliary equipment and capability of refining, drying, resin spraying/blending, and forming raw material into finished products to be tested and/or evaluated for industry use.
