Abstract
A mechanical system and a method of using the system for separating and refining plant fibers are provided. The plant fibers are separated into a bast fiber stream and a hurd stream, each of which may be processed separately to produce a finished bast fiber product and a finished hurd product. The bast fiber stream is processed through a series of unit operations including a chopper assembly, a shredder assembly, a coarse cleaner assembly, a fine cleaner assembly, and a carding machine. The hurd stream may be further processed through a hammer mill and a vibrating sieve.
