A method and system for the production of fibers for use in biocomposites is provided that includes the ability to use both retted and unretted straw, that keeps the molecular structure of the fibers intact by subjecting the fibers to minimal stress, that maximizes the fiber's aspect ratio, that maximizes the strength of the fibers, and that minimizes time and energy inputs, along with maintaining the fibers in good condition for bonding to the polymer(s) used with the fibers to form the biocomposite material. This consequently increases the functionality of the biocomposites produced (i.e. reinforcement, sound absorption, light weight, heat capacity, etc.), increasing their marketability. Additionally, as the disclosed method does not damage the fibers, oilseed flax straw, as well as all types of fibrous materials (i.e. fiber flax, banana, jute, industrial hemp, sisal, coir) etc., can be processed in bio composite materials.

A separation device includes a separation unit that has a first ejection unit having a first ejection port for depositing a material containing a fiber on a first surface, and a first suction unit having a first suction port for sucking from the first surface toward a second surface so that at least a part thereof overlaps the first ejection port, a second suction unit provided at a position different from the first ejection port and having a second suction port for sucking from the second surface toward the first surface, a detection unit that detects information on foreign matter contained in the material ejected from the first ejection port, an input unit that inputs a detection result of the detection unit, and a control unit that controls a separation condition in the separation unit based on the information input to the input unit.

A method is for filling a fillable portion of a garment to be padded to obtain a padded garment, such as a garment or blanket. A cashmere fiber mass is fed towards a carding station. The cashmere fiber mass is mechanically opened and blended in the carding station by a carding machine to obtain a staple cashmere fiber. The staple cashmere fiber exiting from the carding station is fed towards a beating station. The staple cashmere fiber is cleaned in the beating station by cleaning air flow adapted to cross and inflate the staple cashmere fiber to remove residual impurities and dust from the staple cashmere fiber. The staple cashmere fiber exiting from the beating station is fed towards an injecting station and injected into the fillable portion by a pusher for introducing the staple cashmere fiber into the fillable portion to obtain the padded garment.

A secondary impurity-removal recycling system for refining cotton is provided. A first feeding opening is set on the side of the first bin shell, in which the first drum is movably installed, and the first drum is tube shaped. A first mesh is set on the peripheral wall of the first drum, and a first scraper is set at the first feeding opening inside the first bin shell. One end of the first drum is provided with a first impurity-discharging pipe, the outer periphery of which is provided with a first annular hump. The first connecting sleeve is installed on the outer wall of the first bin shell, and the first impurity-discharging pipe is movably stuck in the first connecting sleeve through the first annular hump, and communicates with the first connecting sleeve. The first induced draft fan communicates with the first connecting sleeve through a first air duct.

A method and associated device and system are provided for recording trash in a fiber preparation system having a plurality of cleaning points and a transport line that is connected to the cleaning points and is guided into a central container connected to a negative pressure source for generating transport air. The trash is suctioned from each cleaning point through the transport line with the transport air to the central container and is feed separately from each cleaning point to the central container. In the central container, the trash is separated from the transport air and transferred into a scale for weighing. With the trash located on the scale, an optical recording of the trash is made with a camera directed to an interior of the scale.
