Abstract

Method of mechanical separation of natural fibers consists of bunches of stems of fiber crops placed parallel are moved between feeding rolls towards the outer surface of rotating roll equipped with tearing elements, at the angle of 0 to 45 °. There is obtained a mixture of disintegrated tangled fibers and pieces of lignified parts of stems. The mixture undergoes the popular processes of scutching and fiber separation. The length of disintegrated fibers if from 0.5 to 5 cm.

Description

Method of mechanical separation of natural fibers
The object of the invention is the method of mechanical separation of natural disintegrated fibers from dewed or non-dewed stems of fiber crops, especially fibers of flax and hemp, in simultaneous process of breaking and disintegrating.
There are known methods of fiber processing using consecutive processes of breaking, scutching and shaking as well as carding and tape forming and disintegrating through cutting the fibers into sections of particular length.
Polish patent application of the invention No. P-335055 contains a description of a method of fiber production through disintegration of reclaimed material such as waste textile material, material containing layers of fiber and composite material with non-metal strengthening such as tires with a non-metal cord. In this method textile material is fed to the roll with non-uniform surface, to which it is pressed with changing force along the pressure line, depending on the thickness of the textile material.
The core of the invention is the fact that stems of fiber crops, especially flax and hemp, are placed parallelly undergo simultaneously the process of breaking and disintegration into sections of particular length. Stems are moved between the feeding rolls towards the outer surface of the rotating roll equipped with tearing elements. There is obtained a mixture of tangled natural fibers of the length from 0.5 to 5 cm as well as pieces of lignified parts of stems. The mixture of fibers and lignified parts of stems undergoes scutching and separation of fibers. The angle between the feeding direction of fiber crops and the line perpendicular to the surface of the roll with tearing elements is from 0° to 45°.
Fiber obtained in the method of this invention may be used in various branches of industry, among others in the textile industry for spinning with any natural of synthetic fibers, for production of composite materials, insulating or silencing mats, and in the paper industry directly as the cellulose material.
Example
Flax straw is processed. Straw is ginned and thenloose portions of parallelly placed stems are fed between two parallel rolls rotating backwards. Stems are moved between the feeding rolls to the surface perpendicular to the outer surface of the rotating roll equipped with tearing elements in the form of spikes. There is obtained a mixture of tangled lignified parts of stems and natural fibers of the length depending on the speed of the rotation of the feeding rolls and their distance from the side surface of the roll with tearing elements. The mixture of fibers and Ugnified parts of stems undergoes scutching and separation of fibers.
In one production cycle of breaking and disintegration, after removal of lignified parts of plants, there is obtained product which may used for spinning in the traditional way or in mixtures with other natural fibers such as wool or cotton. The invented method enables to separate fibers also from non-dewed plants, thus there may be obtained bright color fibers, which is profitable especially when fibers are used as the raw material for production of whitened cellulose pulp. Fiber material obtained through the invented method is very good raw cellulose material for paper industry, containing more cellulose than the traditionally applied wood, and for the production of composite materials with plastics.
Simplification of the process of mechanical processing of the stem of fiber crops allows obtaining cheaper raw material for the branches of industry which traditionally work with other materials.
