The analyses of literature have shown that the quality of flax fibre greatly depends on the conditions of retted straw processing by means of breaking-scutching machines, namely on machine parameters, operating regimes and design characteristics. There are considerable high fibre losses due to inappropriate fixing of straw in the conveyor canal; percentage of these losses is much higher than losses caused by any other reasons.

Research shows that the highest pressure occurs in the area opposite the press-rolls axis; it decreases when distancing from it. Research also shows that pressure in the axis zone is lower when the belt tension and spring compression are low.
