Natural Fiber Separation

Natural Fiber Separation

Until now, many fiber processors have avoided the fiber market due to the high cost of decortication and separation equipment. Ag Processing Solutions and its partner, Forsbergs, Inc., have developed proprietary technology to separate fiber at a MUCH lower cost than traditional fiber separation equipment. The Fiber Classifier yields exceptionally pure bast fiber and hurd fiber.

The Fiber Classifier is superior to other methods of decortication and fiber separation. Separating fiber from contaminants can be a processing nightmare. The Fiber Classifier solves the problems of cost and scalability.

With the Fiber Classifier, processors can separate fiber at rates from 2,000 lbs/hour up to 20,000 lbs/hour. Additionally, capital costs associated with this separation process are a fraction of the cost of current decortication equipment. 

In conjunction with the Fiber Classifier for fiber separation, Ag Processing Solutions offers a seed separation system. The seed separation system can be used to separate the seed from the rest of the biomass. This system is used when farmers want to silage chop the entire plant instead of combining seeds prior to chopping the biomass.
