Machine and process for decorticating plant matter
11186924 · 2021-11-30 ·

A decorticating machine comprising modular drum assemblies of different tooth and surface patterns that are installed between pairs of left and right lower and upper rails is described. The modular drum assemblies (usually provided in upper and lower drum pairs) and the number thereof can be chosen based on the particulars of the type of stalk being processed.

CONFIGURABLE APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DECORTICATING, COMMINUTING, AND LIBERATING FIBERS AND HURD FROM HEMP STALKS AND RELATED MATERIALS USING SELECTIVE DIFFERENTIAL FRAGMENTATION
20220282400 · 2022-09-08 ·

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.
