Danish term

Efter udhærdning af vingeskaller, fjernes hampen dog ikke peel-plyen,

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Manufacturing manufacture of power windmill blades(wings)
In a work instruction for the gluing of a foil in a wing(blade) mould.

it's the word "hampen" I can't get. I'm pretty sure they don't use hash/hemp in the manufacture of windmill turbine blades!

The industry term is 'wind turbines', though, not 'windmills'.

hemp or hemp fabric

Actually, I am fairly certain that this does mean hemp.

When not being used or abused as a drug or narcotic, hemp produces very versatile fibres, which might well be used in wind turbine blades.

e.g.

Isochanvre ... a flexible-use hemp-based building material that, to quote FindAProperty, is "...flame-proof, non-toxic, 1/9 the weight of cement, retains heat in winter, is cool in the summer and is unpalatable to rats, insects, or termites." So, what is it, how do you use, where do you get it and how much does it cost?

It is also used for making ropes and similar.

The only question is why it should be removed, but perhaps you can work that out from the rest of the text.
