BAMBOO RAILROAD TIE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for crafting railroad crossties of compressed bamboo is described. The system employs a hydraulic press configured to effectively compress multiple stalks of bamboo into a strong unified beam within a mold. Bamboo is first mashed, dried, and treated. A resin is employed as a permanent adhesive, binding the stalks together. The bamboo is stacked within a mold and compressed under the pressure exerted by the hydraulic press. An oven is used to heat the compressed bamboo, and then the bamboo is cooled. The compressed bamboo beam may then be trimmed to remove excess bamboo, and is cut into crosstie segments if needed. The resulting crosstie is sturdy, ecologically friendly, and rapidly manufactured.

主权项

1. A system for the manufacturing of railroad crossties from bamboo comprising:
cutting bamboo stalks to be of equal length; mashing the bamboo stalks; heat-treating the bamboo stalks, removing the starch; dipping the bamboo stalks into a resin; drying the bamboo stalks in storage; stacking the bamboo stalks tightly within a press mold of a hydraulic press; compressing the bamboo stalks in the press mold via the hydraulic press; locking the bamboo stalks under pressure within the hydraulic press forming compressed bamboo; releasing the hydraulic press; heating the compressed bamboo in an oven for at least two hours at 70 degrees Celsius; removing the compressed bamboo from the oven; cooling the compressed bamboo; and removing the compressed bamboo from the press mold as a crosstie.
