decorticator

Using a decorticator, workers can extract coir fiber in a single day.

Schlichten failed to find investors for production of his decorticator, and died as a broken man in 1923.

Timken saw the decorticator a a revolutionary discovery that would improve conditions for mankind.

Schlichten had spent 18 years and $400,000 on the decorticator, a machine that could strip the fiber from nearly any plant, leaving the pulp behind.

Chase witnessed the decorticator produce seven tons of hemp hurds in two days.

With the new machine, known as a decorticator, hemp is cut with a slightly modified grain binder.

The introduction of G.W. Schlichten's decorticator in 1917 nearly fulfilled this prophesy.

Misconceptions spread about the device includes the suggestion that the first working hemp decorticator was invented in the United States in 1935.

In 1861 a farmer named Bernagozzi from Bologna manufactured a machine called a "scavezzatrice," a decorticator for hemp.

A working hemp decorticator from 1890 manufactured in Germany is preserved in a museum in Bologna.

They argue that with the invention of the decorticator hemp became a very cheap substitute for the paper pulp that was used in the newspaper industry.

In 1919 George Schlichten received a U.S. patent on his improvements of the decorticator for treating fiber bearing plants.

A decorticator (from Latin: cortex, bark) is a machine for stripping the skin, bark, or rind off nuts, wood, plant stalks, grain, etc., in preparation for further processing.

Sowing the Seeds In May, after further meetings with Timkin, Scripps asked McRae to investigate the possibility of using the decorticator in the manufacture of newsprint.

The decorticator resurfaced in the 1930s, when it was touted as the maching that would make hemp a "Billion Dollar Crop" in articles in Mechanical Engeneering and Popular Mechanics.

His hemp paper was even better than that produced for USDA Bulletin 404, he claimed, because the decorticator eliminated the retting process, leaving behind short fibers and a natural glue that held the paper together.

It has invented eight agricultural machinery utility models, namely: motor-driven banana chipper, mechanized peanut sheller, village-type coco coir decorticator, cashew sheller, mechanized paddy gatherer, cassava puller, cassava chipper, and multi-purpose dryer.

Around 1931 advertising started for hemp as the new billion dollar crop because of a decorticator working miracles on the hemp crop and taking the amount of time to harvest an acre of hemp down to 1-1.5 hours when 2 hours was the best time they could get harvesting cotton.
