Abstract
This disclosure describes a mobile‑to‑factory composite lumber system that converts fire‑hazard biomass (tumbleweed, pine slash, needles, cones, brush) and dirty agricultural waste plastics into low‑cost, warp‑free, rot‑proof, termite‑proof lumber substitutes.
The system uses:
-
Mobile on‑site densification rigs to reduce biomass volume by 50:1
-
Grit removal to protect factory equipment
-
VAR atmospheric drying
-
Recycled HDPE/PP binder (5–15%)
-
Mineral fillers (clay, lime, fly ash, soil fines)
-
Hollow‑core gyroid geometry to reduce material use by 40%
-
Thermal‑loop energy recovery
-
Plasma‑hardened wear surfaces for low maintenance
The result is a bio‑composite lumber that hopefully is:
-
Cheaper than wood
-
Cheaper than composite
-
Stronger and straighter than pine
-
Immune to warp, rot, termites, and moisture
-
Made from materials that states often pay to remove
