Reports Mill Portion of Hemp Processing Facility Complete\n \n SPRING HOPE, NC--(Marketwired - Feb 15, 2017) - Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) announced today the much-anticipated milling operation in Spring Hope, North Carolina is now complete and is set to enter beta testing. The mill, a part of Hemp, Inc.'s 70,000 square-foot industrial hemp processing facility on 9 acres, will be able to process and produce Lost Circulation Material (LCMs) and oil absorbent materials for sale into the marketplace. With an in-house skilled team of employees, beta testing the milling machinery should only take a week or two, according to executives.\n David Schmitt, COO of Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC (IHM) said they expect to have the mill operating at full capacity once beta testing is over. \"We have remained and continue to remain committed to bringing the facility online and operational. This is a very exciting time for us. This week and next week will be exceptionally busy.\" Schmitt is meeting with a lighting specialist on installing LED lighting above the packaging area of the plant and also writing program code for the programmable logic controller (PLC).\n Overall, the PLC feeds the milling components programmed data that instructs each part to function and operate in a specified way. Specifically, it's an industrial digital computer which has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, or robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability control and ease of programming and process fault diagnosis.\n \"We hope to get the lights installed in a few days and writing the code for the PLC will only take a few days. Once the mill is powered up, we'll begin feeding it material for processing. The goal is to exhaust all the kenaf inventory in order to manufacture LCMs and other absorbent materials,\" said Schmitt.\n Hemp, Inc. has been documenting every step of the process. To see the video documenting the two major components being installed for the mill, visit www.KinsDomain.us. The video shows the arrival, unloading and installation of the dust collector and the electrical pan...
