Cultivation of the plant
Compared to other crops, the advantages of hemp cultivation are endless. Fibre and oil hemp grows incredibly fast and is therefore available in high quantities. This wonderful plant enriches the soil, can be used entirely, cultivated without chemicals and perfectly represents the circular economy concept.
How we reach our goals
The Recultivation in Europe is now in its 27.th year and after the first move of efforts work in the field of an agricultural product for the near agricultural eco-friendly building industry, the CBD developments in the field of food additives and and the reinvetion of its health benefits in medical fields, affected the whole industry with an accelerating step forward, now it is important to smartly develop – a not over evaluated part of this business, with focusing on the whole plant with the help of modern and cost effective new technologies affordable for all parts of the hemp evaluating chain.
Our primary aim is to support the changing in the agriculture sector worldwide and especially in Turkey.
Turkey can take the hemp cultivation to step forward with the transformation of its agriculture sector to a cooperating farming unit with small and mid sized units as the backbone of the sustainable agriculture industry that reach out to the already existing industries, as textile, building, paper, food, high technology and OME producing sectors by adjusting the new eco-friendly materials in its existing and new shaped productions lines.
This will be a good model for those markets, which are in the transition to a sustainable production. It will take bigger efforts for the reorganisation of industries. This process we can witness for example right now in the change of the automotive sector from the combustion powered industry to electrified automotive industry.
It is important to take the results of the product developments of the last 3 decades into account, to go beyond the aims, that we work towards achieving today. That means smarter, smaller and more affordable equipment for a more efficient and sustainable product world.
R&D – Consultancy
DogaTek’s mission is to develop the hemp industry and its field of use since 2014 in Turkey. We continue working on the perfection of our already advanced and innovative methods and equipment. As a worldwide networking company with attempts to enlarge the hemp industry, our Development & Consultancy is pleased to share knowledge and experience with all our stakeholders in changing the manufacturing cycle to be more sustainable and ecological. We will build bridges to change and shape the brand-new hemp business. One of our main goals is to utilise hemp as one of the core parts of an eco-friendly manufacturing cycle. We see hemp growing as one of the natural, easy and convenient ways of geo-engineering to reduce carbon emission. The reduction of CO2 in the growing process is kept as a negative carbon figure in the value-added production chains of the hemp applications. As DogaTek, we believe in the need for cutting-edge approaches and technologies to go beyond the necessities of our time. We provide our Service to certify your CO2 savings.
Technology – Equipment
DogaTek’s technology and equipment are as good as the people who develop and use them. For that reason we put people who develop technology and equipment first. Our team has come together with specialists on their fields of work.
For example harvesting technology is the domain of our german machine engineering specialists who are working on Agricultural Machinery and their efficiency for more than 25 years.
Processing
Evaluating the developments of the past years we engineered new efficient physical and biological production methods to see a wider potential of the crop. Processing hemp for various purposes has changed with in the last 25 years and we are out to bring more choices of product with improved and new methods of processing to the value adding industries like food, paper, textile, construction and endless new product fields to be developed and engineered. We want to meet the served industries and their point of technical standards. Entering of our produced hemp products the industries will be seam-less or at the lowest adjusting level needed, that keeps the investment in new equipment for the industry low and raises the motivation to switch over to the more environmental friendly production more easily with hemp various range of applications.
Wood-Shives
Features
Shives, the woody inside of the hemp stem, has an enormous absorption capacity and therefore binds well to materials such as lime and water. It’s also good in absorbing odours.
Benefits
The woody inside of the hemp stem (shives) is extremely versatile. Enhancing the product choices of applications out of shives to the already existing stable bedding (straw) for horses and smaller animal enclosures, horticulture mulch, for insulating panel material and hemp concrete to paper and wood composite is one of our main fields of hemp shives products.
Fibre
Features
The fibres are extracted from the Skin, the outer side of the stem. Hemp fibres have great moisture and temperature regulating properties. They’re also extremely strong, highly flexible and very light, which is an enormous advantage in the construction sector. Plus, its strong antibacterial properties make it, for example, ideal for hospital clothing!
Benefits
Hemp fibres can be turned into nearly anything. They’re used in construction, insulation materials and in many industrial applications such as the automotive, furniture, special paper and textile industry. The growing demands of the textiles industry is one of the key engines for the evaluation of sustainable new modern fabrics for clothing, upholster and their derivates.
Animal Care
A-grade litter for large and small animals without the use of chemical additives and processes. Healthy, safe and comfortable for animals and humans.
Root
Features
The hemp plant roots deep and wide with an extensive root hair structure. This improves the soil structure and returns a higher soil yield.
Benefits
For DogaTek, the root primarily plays a role in soil improvement, allowing more of this super plant to be cultivated. The roots can be used in pharmaceutical products and hair structured fiber applications as cellulose enforcing source or in the Bio-Composite Field.
CBD
Industrial hemp fibre is virtually THC free and therefore has no psychoactive effect. The leaf and flower buds contain very beneficial substances such as cannabinoids and terpenes. CBD (cannabidiol) is one of several substances which is extracted and has great health-promoting properties. A small selection: CBD reduces stress, ensures a good night’s sleep, provides energy and increases resistance.
Benefits
CBD is primarily used for CBD oil, possibly in combination with other extracts. CBD oil is available in bottles, capsules, drops and pastes. There are even CBD sweets and chewing gum. The use of CBD in evaporators is also an effective application that gives immediate results.
