Bamboo processing machines are used to perform tasks like splitting, slicing, and knot removing on bamboo. Paper machines are used to create paper from pulp. 
Bamboo processing machines 
Splitting: Separates bamboo in the direction of the fibers, at right angles to the surface
Slicing: Separates bamboo in the direction of the fibers, parallel to the surface
Knot removing: Cuts or grinds down the nodes between segments
Planing: Smooths the top, bottom, and/or side surfaces of a split length
Cross cutting: Cuts a length of stem into shorter sections
Paper machines
Fourdrinier machine: A moving woven mesh filters out fibers from a paper stock to create a wet mat of fibers 
Pressing: Removes water from the paper sheet by applying force 
Drying: Eliminates water from the paper sheets through air or heat 
Bamboo pulp and paper
Bamboo is used to make paper pulp in China, Myanmar, Thailand, and India 
Bamboo pulp is used in printing and writing papers 
Bamboo pulp can be blended with wood chips and processed in wood-based pulp mills 
Bamboo pulp has properties similar to softwood pulps
