A plant stalk decortication apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes an alignment system in which a series of rotating spindles with blades attached to the spindles are positioned over a bed on which plant stalks are longitudinally aligned and conveyed by the blades. The apparatus also includes rollers and breakers downstream of the blades for crushing and breaking the plant stalks to cause the bast fibers and hurd to separate. The apparatus also includes a suction chamber that separates loose bast fiber from hurd chips formed by the breakers.

The invention refers to a natural fiber treatment process in order to enable the fibers to be conditioned for optimal yarn production, and subsequently of base fabrics. The process comprises the stages of an alkaline treatment, bleaching and the addition of a softening agent.

A decortication system includes a feeder configured to convey unoriented fiber-bearing plant stalks in a bulk mass and a decorticator assembly comprising a multi-stage decorticator assembly. The decorticator assembly includes at least a first stage decorticator and a second stage decorticator arranged in series with one another. The first stage decorticator comprises a ripper that is configured to separate stalks from the bulk mass delivered by the feeder and to meter movement of stalks away from the ripper. The second stage decorticator is located downstream of the ripper and further decorticates the stalks to produce fiber and hurd that are separated from one another. It may comprise a roller-roller breaker assembly comprising plurality of roller-breaker assemblies located in series with one another. A third stage decorticator may be located downstream of the second stage decorticator and may comprise a second roller-breaker assembly.

There is provided a device, process and system for decortication of biomass comprising hurd, bark and bast, such as long stalk biomass. Typically, one or more of the bark, hurd or bast generated by the decortication process or decorticator device is fed to a downstream process or downstream device such as a counter current extractor. The liquid or fibre products of decorticator, or the decorticator in combination with the counter current extractor may be further processed into their components.
