A revolutionary and totally unique apparatus relatively quickly and easily configurable and reconfigurable into more than 829,440 different combinations reduces the particle size of organic and inorganic materials, including components of hemp cultivars and kenaf stalks, from inches to microns in less than one second by gently pulling the structures apart along natural fracture planes and lines of cleavage rather than compressing the material to failure, while simultaneously liberating particles of complex multiphase materials one from the other using selective differential fragmentation, all without agglomeration. Strong shearing forces induced by thousands of incrementally-stepped, pulsed shock waves, vortexes of air, rapid pulsatile pressure changes, and piezoelectric effects at different levels in the apparatus combine to cause the material's elastic limits to be exceeded flowing through user-definable processing chambers characterized by alternating processing rotors and segmented divider plates embedded in hinged outer doors.

A configurable apparatus is operable for decorticating, comminuting and liberating fibers and hurd from hemp stalks and related materials using selective differential fragmentation. The apparatus is selectively configurable for processing different materials. The configurable apparatus includes a plurality of sides formed of hinged, segmented outer doors, a splined central rotating shaft extending longitudinally within the apparatus, and a plurality of matching splined processing rotors selectively spaced apart and coupled to the central rotating shaft, each of the plurality of processing rotors contained within a different processing chamber within the apparatus.

A system having a mill apparatus, a first screening apparatus, and a fiber collection apparatus. The mill apparatus receives hemp material, and the first screening apparatus receives milled hemp material from the mill apparatus. The first screening apparatus separates fiber components of the milled hemp material from hurd, grain, and biomass components of the milled hemp material. The fiber collection apparatus receives, from the first screening apparatus, the fiber components of the milled hemp material. Optionally, a second screening apparatus can receive, from the first screening apparatus, the hurd, grain, and biomass components of the milled hemp material, and the second screening apparatus can separate the hurd, grain, and biomass components. Also described are methods of using the disclosed system to separate fiber, hurd, grain, and biomass components of hemp material.
