Besting 29 other entries, Engr. Dante B. Pulmano’s poster titled “Design and Fabrication of a Bamboo Flattening Machine” won 2nd place in the Best Research and Development Poster category in the recently concluded 25th Regional Symposium on Research and Development Highlights of the Southern Tagalog Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Consortium (STARRDEC).
“The FPRDI-developed bamboo flattening machine can flatten bamboo culms into planks to create engineered bamboo products (EBPs) such as laminated veneers and laminated bamboo veneer lumbers, structural strand composites, fine boards and particleboards. These EBPs can be turned into furniture pieces, construction components, and handicrafts,” explained Pulmano, a Senior Science Research Specialist at FPRDI’s Technology Innovation Division.
