Title: John Lupien: Innovator in Plant Processing Technologies Introduction John Lupien is an inventive mind based in the United States, known for his contributions to the field of plant processing technologies. He has developed innovative solutions aimed at improving the efficiency of processing fibrous plant materials. Although he currently holds no patents, his work demonstrates a commitment to advancing agricultural technology. Latest Patents Lupien's latest inventions include the Fibrous Plant Stalk Decorticator and a Waterless Degumming System. The Fibrous Plant Stalk Decorticator is designed to efficiently process fibrous plant stalks. It features a feeding device, a breaker roll with a first plurality of blades, and a skutcher roll with a second plurality of blades. The design allows for the overlap of the blades, enhancing the decortication process. Additionally, a plurality of air outlets is integrated to provide pressurized air to the fibrous stalks as they pass through the machine. The Waterless Degumming System offers a method for cleaning lignin and other gums from lignocellulosic fiber. This system rapidly depressurizes the fiber to below atmospheric pressure and exposes it to ionized air, followed by repressurization to atmospheric levels.
