- Said upper and lower valves have a diameter at least equal to the diameter of the prechamber.
- the pre-chamber may be in the form of a cylinder of revolution.
- Several prechambers can be associated with a single reactor body, also called spark gap.
- the upper and lower valves of the prechamber, in production, are both closed or one open and the other closed.
- the upper valve is open and the lower valve is closed.
- the antechamber can contain one or more javelins. Then the upper valve is closed.
- the antechamber is pressurized.
- the lower valve opening into the spark gap can then be opened, causing a sudden drop in pressure to atmospheric pressure and the explosion of the fibrous rods into fibres. The explosion of the fibers also results in dust and waste.
- the spark gap is in the form of a hopper.
- the spark gap may comprise a cylindrical portion of revolution and a frustoconical portion disposed under the cylindrical portion of revolution.
- the spark gap is open at the lower end.
- the spark gap opens at the lower end on a barrel.
- the spark gap comprises a laundry, for example in the form of a washing ramp. The washing makes it possible, on the one hand, to clean the rods of undesirable dust or impurities, for example resulting from the bursting of the rod, and, on the other hand, to drag the fibers downwards.
- the washing is carried out under pressure.
- the barrel comprises several mobile chambers, a first chamber arranged under the spark gap, while a second chamber is in the wiping position and a third chamber in the unloading position.
- a basket is placed in each room.

- the bales come from a storage allowing a regularization of the production and a homogenization of the rate of humidity.
- step 2 the fibrous rods are packaged in circular cylindrical javelins.
- the cylindrical shape of revolution makes it easy to introduce the javelins into the tubes and optimizes the loading of tubular zones.
- step 3 the javelins are transported by a conveyor. This step is optional depending on the layout of the machines. Machines mounted in the immediate vicinity make it possible to do without a dedicated conveyor.
- step 4 the javelins seized by a gripper are presented in an entry chute.
- the gripper can be carried by a robotic arm.
- step 5 a javelin disposed in the chute is introduced into a prechamber by opening an inlet valve while an outlet valve is closed.
- step 6 the introduction valve in the prechamber is closed, the outlet valve remaining closed.
- step 7 the prechamber is pressurized, for example at a pressure of between 2.10 5 Pa and 23.10 5 Pa.
- step #8 the outlet valve is open.
- the pressure in the prechamber drops in less than 500 ms to atmospheric pressure.
- the fibrous stem bursts into fibers. Pectin and lignin are found in solution.
- the fibers descend by gravity into the spark gap which comprises a tank.
- step 9 the prechamber outlet valve is closed after the javelin has descended into the spark gap.
- the previous steps can then be repeated as the following steps proceed. More precisely, step n°5 can be repeated as soon as step n°9 is finished.
- Steps 5 to 9 can be executed in parallel in several prechambers supplying a single spark gap. Said execution in parallel can be slightly offset in time so that the openings of the outlet valves are offset by at least a few seconds.
- step 10 washing the spark gap pulls the fibers down.
- the spark gap can contain the fibers corresponding to several javelins.
- step 11 the fibers pass from the bottom of the spark gap to a basket. Dripping occurs. The liquids are recovered in a tank forming the decanter.
- Step 12 the basket containing the drained fibers passes through a wringing station.
- Spin-drying can be carried out by centrifugation, in particular by rotating the basket.
- Step 12 may include a first spin sub-step followed by a second sub-stage spin-drying stage, especially in a higher speed machine. Spinning in two stages separated by a rest period allows for more efficient spin-drying.
- Step 12 can also include a transfer of the basket loaded with fibers from one machine to another.
- step 13 the basket containing the dewatered fibers passes through an unloading station.
- the basket is then emptied of the fibers it contains, by overturning said basket or else by blowing or pushing the fibers.
- stage n°14 the basket returns under the splitter to be loaded with fibers again, cf stage n°11.
- step 15 the fibers are dried by bringing them to a humidity level of between 15 and 40%.
- step 16 the fibers are carded. Carding consists of combing the fibres.

- the unloading machine 63 comprises a gripper 65 carried by a lifting robot 66 to move a basket loaded with fibers at least in a vertical plane, and an unloading chamber 67 provided to receive the basket 48 loaded with fibers and a thrust 68 acting in the bottom of the unloading chamber 67 pushing the fibers while leaving the basket 48 in place in the unloading chamber 67.
- the pushing member 68 may comprise an actuator and a plurality of fingers passing through orifices from the bottom of the basket 48.
- the unloading machine 63 also comprises a pusher 69 with a horizontal axis.
- the pusher 69 is provided to push the fibers located above the basket 48 towards a conveyor.
- Pusher 69 may include a linear actuator and a blade or rake. The fibers are then in a pile 25.
- a second embodiment is illustrated in the figure 4 .
- the unloading machine 63 comprises a turner 70 of basket 48 loaded with fibres.
- the turner 70 grabs the basket 48 loaded with fibers and turns it over so that the bottom of the basket 48 is in the upper position and the opening of the basket in the lower position. The fibers then fall from the basket 48 into a pile 25.
- Conveyor 71 receives fibers from unloading machine 63. Conveyor 71 carries a plurality of piles of fibers. Above the path of the fibers on the conveyor 71, the installation comprises, from upstream to downstream, a first dryer 72 for drying the fibers in heaps 25, a carding machine 73, a second dryer 74 for drying the fibers in heap 25 and a conditioner 75.
- the first dryer 72 includes a motorized fan.
- the second dryer 74 can comprise the same elements as the first dryer 72.
- the carding machine 73 can comprise one or more metal combs to separate and align the fibers positioned in a mat on the conveyor 71.
- the carding yield is increased for a rate of fiber moisture between 15 and 40%, preferably between 20 and 35%, more preferably between 25 and 34%.
- Carding dry fibers with a moisture content of between 4 and less than 15% causes part of the fibers to break and therefore generates dust and a shortening of said fibers. It can be interesting to do without post-carding drying. In this case, the carded fibers are packaged directly, in particular with a view to spinning.
- the conditioner 75 brings together fibers from several piles 25.
- the conditioner 75 binds the fibers in bundles 26 linked, for example parallelepipedal.
- the fibers, in particular hemp, have a length of between 15 and 30 mm.
- the invention offers a physical treatment of fibrous plants to obtain fibres.
- the treatment is solvent-free, without adding bases.
