Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005033380A1] The invention relates to a method for processing natural fiber plants, during which: a) the freshly harvested plants are chopped; b) the chopped product is subsequently subjected to a sieving and/or sifting process whereby separating out fibers from the other plant parts, and; c) subsequently processing the separated out fibers and the remaining fiber/shive mixture separately. The novel method is advantageous in that particularly valuable fiber components can be obtained immediately after harvesting the natural fiber plants. It is also advantageous in that the fibers do not suffer any losses in quality (particularly losses in strength) by the preservation thereof.
