Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0317681A1] The invention relates to a method for the continuous preparation of plant stalks producing bast fibres, such as flax and hemp, involving particularly a ginning stage and a stripping stage, and to a preparation installation making it possible to carry out said method. According to the invention, a previously prepared sheet of stalks (25) driven in a continuous advancing movement (26) is stripped, said stalks being neither guided nor maintained, being placed at least in two layers and being arranged longitudinally in the direction of movement. For this, the installation comprises means (6) for the formation of a sheet (25) of stalks, located upstream of the stripping means, to form a continuously moving sheet of stalks (25), said stalks being arranged longitudinally in the direction of movement (26), parallel to one another and placed at least in two layers. <IMAGE>
