Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus for decortication of plant stalks, involving flattening the plant stalk into two substantially planar stalk sides adjoined at their edges; splitting the two substantially planar stalk sides one from the other; bending the flat stalk piece with the hurd on the outside of the bend and bast on the inside of the bend; separating the segments such that the bast pulls away from the hurd and spans the gap between the two segments; bringing a stripper into abutment with the spanning bast and moving the stripper so as to draw the bast, which strips the bast away from the hurd; and removing the bast from the stripper.
