A method, application and device for obtaining fibres from at least one plant stem or from plant bast is disclosed. The at least one plant stem is treated with at least one high-speed liquid jet or high-speed gas jet. At the start of treatment with the high-speed liquid jet or the high speed gas jet the at least one plant stem has a moisture content of at least 25% and/or vegetable glues, in particular the pectin and hemicelluloses, of the plant stem are in a swollen state.

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.

The present disclosure relates to separating fibres from plant straw where the separated fibres retain properties that are favourable for manufacturing textiles. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus that comprises multiple separation-units for separating the desired fibres from the other constituent components of the plant straw. The apparatus may further comprise a recycling system for fluids used within the one or more separation units. Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for separating fibres from the other constituent components of the plant straw.
