Moisture-controlled natural fiber processing prevents hornification and improves fiber-plastic reinforcement strength and durability.
A staged splitting, scrubbing, suction, and combing process separates hemp bast fiber from hurd with less fiber damage and over 95% purity.
A wedge-guided split-and-peel roller layout separates bast stalk bark gently, improving decortication efficiency without fiber damage or tangling.
Moisture and temperature conditioning, controlled bending, and stripping separate bast cleanly from hurd with minimal fiber damage.
Tensile separation along bast fibers cleaves the meristem layer, avoiding impact damage that reduces fiber quality in traditional pulping.
Replacing time-consuming roasting with electrical decomposition of pectin adhesives in wet fiber bundles reduces processing duration and energy consumption.
