Cel THE RESEARCH TEAM AND COOPERATING RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS WILL TEST THE PROPOSED UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE HARVESTING METHOD ON A TRIAL FIELD SCALE. THE PULLED OR CUT FLAX WILL BE THRESHED BY EXISTING COMBINES. PARAMETERS WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND THE SWATHED TANGLED STRAW WILL BE SUBJECT TO DEW RETTING EXPERIMENTS, IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT WORKING METHOD AS REGARDS SEED QUALITY, RETTING QUALITY AND HANDLING METHOD AT TURNING AND DRYING. FINALLY, THE MOST SUITABLE METHOD OF TRANSPORT OF THE TANGLED STRAW WILL BE ESTABLISHED. PARTICULARLY IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE RESEARCH, THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL INQUIRE AFTER THE STATE OF TECHNOLOGY IN OTHER COUNTRIES. IN ORDER TO JUDGE THE METHOD AND THE MATERIAL, THE STRAW WILL BE PROCESSED TO A USEFUL TEXTILE FIBRE IN LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS AND THROUGH A SUITABLE PRACTICAL PROCESSING WITH CONVENTIONAL MACHINES (TOW-SCUTCHING MACHINE, CARDING MACHINE, STRETCHER). IF POSSIBLE, FIBRE TESTS AND MINI-SPINNING TRIALS WILL BE PERFORMED. AFTER THAT, EMPHASIS OF THE RESEARCH IMPLIES INVESTIGATIONS ON LABORATORY- AND SEMI-PRACTICAL SCALE TO ADAPT MACHINERY RESP. TO DEVELOP PROTOTYPE MACHINERY FOR A SINGLE AND RATIONAL PROCESSING OF THE BALES OF TANGLED STRAW. THE TARGET OF THE RESEARCH TEAM IS TO SUPPLY THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN CROP PRODUCTION AND MIXED YARN SPINNING. THE PROCESSING IS FOCUSSED ON LOOSENING THE FLAX FIBRE AS A STAPLE FIBRE FROM THE TANGLED STRAW, CLEANING AND OFFERING IT IN A SUITABLE FLOCK- OR SLIVER FORM TO THE (COTTON-) SPINNING MILLS. THE TECHNICAL ELABORATION, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN INITIATED IN PRELIMINARY LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS, AND THE FEASIBILITY REGARDING CROP PRODUCTION AS WELL AS WITH REGARD TO THE MARKETABILITY OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE REPORTED ON.
