The nine commercially important species of bamboo in the Philippines are the following: |
1. KAUAYAN TINIK (Bambusa blumeana) 2. KAUAYAN KILLING (B. vulgaris) 3. GIANT BAMBOO (Dendrocalamus asper) 4. BAYOG (D. merrillianus) 5. KAYALI (Gigantochloa atter) 6. BOLO (G. levis) 7. BUHO (Schizostachyum lumampao) 8. ANOS (S. lima) 9. LAAK(Bambusa sp.) |
|
The categories and examples of products that can be made from bamboo are given in the following tables: |
Table 1: Gifts, toys, and basket ware made from bamboo. Table 2: furniture, construction, domestic and agri-fishery products from bamboo. |
|
The following are some of the properties of bamboo that make it suitable and desirable for a lot of uses:
|
1. Bamboo is highly versatile material. 2. Bamboo can be easily and profitably grown on all types of soil, with virtually little effort and care, none or very little fertilizer, with almost no pest and diseases. 3. Bamboo has short initial harvest (3 to 5 years after planting) and a long productive life span. 4. Demand for bamboo products in the international market is increasing. 5. Bamboo is excellent for soil conservation because of its root structure. 6. Bamboo can be easily worked with using simple tools. 7. Bamboo is strong for its weight. |
|
should not be done during the growing or rainy season since cutting actually causes some damages to young shoots and young culms, and will retard the growth and development of the residual culms. |
CULM CUTTING |
|
The most recommended time to harvest bamboo is at the |
beginning of dry season end of rainy season. |
|
The traditionally methods employed for the protection of bamboo are also called non-chemical methods. These include the following: |
SOAKING CURING SMOKING WHITEWASHING |
|
In this method, the freshly cut (green) culms are put into stagnant running water or mud for several weeks. Stones or heavy objects put on the bamboo to keep them submerged in the water. |
SOAKING |
|
Culms that are cut at the bottom are left for some time with some branches and leaves on the clump. Because the assimilation of the leaves still goes on, the starch content in the culm is reduced and as a result, the resistance against infested by bore is increased. |
CURING |
|
The culms are stored above fireplaces inside houses for some time so that the smoke blackens the culm. This is thought to produce toxic agents that lead to some resistance in the culms heating also destroys the starch in the parenchyma cel |
SMOKING |
|
This is traditionally treatment that is used more primarily for its ornamental effect than for its preservative value. Bamboo culms are painted with slaked lime {ca (OH)2] which could delay water absorption and provide higher resistance against fungi. |
WHITEWASHING |
|
What methods requiring chemical are being used for preserving bamboo? |
FUMIGATION PROPHYLACTIC TREATMENT BUTT TREATMENT OPEN TANK TREATMENT HOT DIPPING METHOD BOUCHERIE METHOD |
|
with methyl bromide or some other chemical is applied in Japan for insect control
|
FUMIGATION |
|
by brushing and spraying.
|
Prophylactic treatment |
|
in which the bottom part of a freshly cut bamboo culm with branches and leaves is placed in barrel containing a preservative. The transpiration of the leaves draws with it the solution into the vessels of the culm. |
BUTT TREATMENT |
|
where properly-sized culms are soaked in a solution of a water-soluble preservative for several days.
|
Open tank treatment |
|
can be treated more easily than round ones because the inner skin is a little more permeable than the outer |
SPLIT CULM |
|
where the culms are first dipped in a solution of hot preservative then transferred to a cold container of the preservative or allowed to cool in the original preservative.
|
HOT DIPPING METHOD |
|
where the preservation is forced by gravity from a container placed higher than the stem or with the use of pnematic pumps through pipes into the stem base.
|
Boucherie method |
|
Just like wood, pulp from bamboo can be obtained by |
COOKING |
|
Just like wood, pulp from bamboo can be obtained by “cooking” in a solution of pulping chemicals such as |
COLD SODA |
|
The culms are cracked, spread out, and flattened into sheets with suitable binding and filling materials; then the sheets are treated, combined, lapped, arranged, glued, pressed to the desired form, and then cut and trimmed to the desired size and shape and finally given finishing touches. |
LAMINATED BAMBOO |
|
What are some of the machines available for processing bamboo? |
Cross cutting machine. Automatic bamboo splitting machine Bamboo slicing machine Bamboo round skewer making machine. |
|
This is used for cutting the bamboo across its length by moving the circular saw p and sown to obtain the required length, the cut is smooth because it uses a special kind of saw blade. It is recommended for cutting a fixed length of round bamboo such as in the case of skewers and chopsticks.
|
CROSS CUTTING MACHINE |
|
This machines splits round bamboo at high speed into 4-11 pieces of split bamboo by changing blades. This is highly suitable for mass production of almost all kinds of bamboo articles.
|
AUTOMATIC BAMBOO SPLITTING MACHINE |
|
This machine can be used for the mass production of sliced materials having the desired thickness. The sliced materials can be used for many kinds of bamboo wares and products.
|
BAMBOO SLICING MACHINE |
|
This can be used for making round bamboo sticks for skewer, toothpick, etc. having the desired diameter by simply changing the blade. An end-shaving machine can be used side by side with this to sharpen one end of the round stick from the skewer making machine.
