600-1000kg/h Automatic Flax Scutching Line with Stalk Breaking and Fiber Separation

Product Overview

The 600-1000kg/h Automatic Flax Scutching Line is designed for short flax fiber production through mechanical stalk breaking and fiber separation.

The production line processes prepared flax stalk materials by combining feeding, bale unwinding, metal detection, drying, coarse and fine stalk breaking, fiber separation, fiber collection, flax shive baling, and dust collection.

The main purpose of the line is to separate flax fibers from the woody parts of flax stalks after mechanical breaking.

With a specified processing capacity of 600-1000kg/h, the system includes multiple processing machines, automatic fire protection, dust collection, and a centralized electrical control system.

The ALN100-L control cabinet incorporates Siemens PLC communication, a 14-inch touchscreen, fault detection, data recording, remote operation, and one-touch automatic start and stop functions.

This production line is intended for flax fiber processing enterprises that require mechanical short flax fiber recovery from stalk materials.

Main Technical Specifications

Note: The capacity refers to the incoming material processing rate, not the guaranteed output of cleaned short flax fiber. Actual fiber recovery depends on raw material characteristics and processing conditions.

How the Automatic Flax Scutching Line Works

Step 1: Flax Material Feeding

Prepared flax materials are loaded onto the ALN100-A feeding equipment using a forklift.

The hydraulic feeding mechanism transfers the material onto a conveyor for the unwinding process.

Step 2: Fiber Bale Unwinding

The ALN100-B unwinding machine opens the rolled fiber material.

An infrared detection device monitors material position, while a pneumatic pressing mechanism adjusts the unwinding thickness.

A screw conveyor at the bottom collects leaves, dust, and soil released during unwinding.

Step 3: Metal Detection

The ALN100-C metal detection and conveying system checks the incoming material for metal impurities.

When metal is detected, the equipment is designed to trigger an alarm and stop operation.

Step 4: Material Drying

The ALN100-D drying unit prepares the material for subsequent stalk breaking.

Temperature and humidity monitoring is included in the documented equipment configuration.

Step 5: Coarse Stalk Breaking

The ALN100-F250 breaking machine performs the initial mechanical breaking of flax stalks.

The roller compression arrangement helps fracture the woody stalk structure before further processing.

Step 6: Fine Stalk Breaking

The ALN100-F150 further breaks the previously processed stalk materials.

Adjustable roller gaps and speed ratios support control of the mechanical breaking process.

Step 7: Flax Fiber and Shive Separation

The ALN100-G fiber separator processes material after stalk breaking.

It separates flax fibers from woody shives and residual impurities using a separation system with crossed bars.

Step 8: Fiber Collection

The ALN100-I dust cylinder collects separated flax fibers using pipeline suction and a rotating collection structure.

Step 9: Shive Baling

The ALN-DB200-J shive baler packages separated woody stalk residues into bags for handling and transport.

Step 10: Dust Collection and Centralized Control

The ALN-MC300M dust collection system collects dust generated during processing.

The Siemens PLC control system supports coordinated equipment operation, fault monitoring, and data recording.

Main Equipment Configuration

1. ALN100-A Hydraulic Feeding Machine

The ALN100-A feeds the material into the unwinding unit using a hydraulic loading structure.

A forklift places the material onto the loading plate. The equipment transfers it to the feeding conveyor.

2. ALN100-B Fiber Unwinding Machine

The ALN100-B unwinds rolled material for subsequent processing.

Features

• Infrared material position detection

• Automatic incremental feeding

• Pneumatic unwinding thickness adjustment

• Variable-frequency unwinding speed control

• Screw conveyor for leaves, dust, and soil

• Automatic fire suppression configuration

3. ALN100-C Metal Detection and Conveying Unit

The ALN100-C is designed to detect metallic contaminants before the stalk-breaking process.

The equipment also includes a documented foreign-material removal arrangement.

4. ALN100-D Drying Equipment

The ALN100-D provides material drying before further mechanical processing.

The technical information describes temperature and humidity detection and a hot-air delivery arrangement.

The drying heat source, temperature range, and energy requirements must be confirmed for the final configuration.

5. ALN100-F250 Coarse Breaking Machine

The ALN100-F250 performs initial stalk breaking.

The machine features spring-controlled pressing and adjustable roller gaps.

6. ALN100-F150 Fine Breaking Machine

The ALN100-F150 further breaks the stalks after the coarse breaking process.

It includes adjustable roller gaps, spring pressing mechanisms, and front-to-rear roller speed-ratio adjustment.

These features support controlled stalk breaking before fiber separation.

7. ALN100-G Flax Fiber Separator

The ALN100-G separates fibers from broken woody stalk material and impurities.

Main Features

• Crossed separating bars

• Approximately 5m separation length

• Fiber and woody shive separation

• Smoke and flame detection

• Automatic fire suppression configuration

8. ALN100-I Fiber Collection Dust Cylinder

The ALN100-I collects processed fibers after the separation stage.

The system uses air suction to collect fibers on a rotating cylinder mesh before the material is discharged.

9. ALN-DB200-J Flax Shive Baler

The ALN-DB200-J is designed to bag and compress woody flax shives separated during processing.

This equipment handles separated shives rather than finished flax fiber.

10. ALN-MC300M Central Dust Collection System

The ALN-MC300M collects dust generated during stalk breaking and fiber separation.

The dust collection system is designed for processing conditions involving flax shives, dust, and soil.

Its suitability for combustible dust hazards must be evaluated according to the installation conditions and applicable safety requirements.

11. ALN100-L Intelligent Electrical Control System

The ALN100-L provides centralized electrical control for the production line.
