(57) Abstract Described is a method of decorticating flax, and a ma- chine suitable for doing this. The aim of the invention is to pro- duce, after only a short dew-retting time or light chemical pre- treatment, a degree of decortication sufficient to form the preli- minary step of a constant-flow fibre-digestion process. The flax is picked up as a tangled mass and processed in a tangential- flow breaker unit(10, 11) and a subsequent longitudinal-flow fi- bre scutching and cleaning unit (12). Incorporated in the first breaker (10) is a system of parallel slots and in the second breaker (11) a peripheral gap whose axis of curvature is at right angles to the slots in the first breaker (10). The fibre scutching and cleaning unit (12) has several longitudinal sections fitted with fibre-conveying and loosening means which separate and clean the fibres. The decorticated fibres are then compressed, in a built-on baler unit (22), into bales.
