A defiberation apparatus for separating the cellulosic fibrous material contained in refuse, particularly municipal refuse, and preparing it for conversion into pulp suitable for various paper product manufacturing purposes. The novel defiberation apparatus of this invention utilizes a plurality of water jets which impart a disintegrating and classifying action to the refuse and place the cellulosic fibers in a liquid suspension. This liquid suspension or slurry then passes through three hoppers in the defiberation apparatus wherein the non-cellulosic solids are removed on screw conveyors.
