Wood chips are fed into a sheath containing two parallel screws that mesh with each other, their respective threads having, at least an upstream series of segments and a downstream series of segments, each of which comprises a drive upstream zone in which the chips are driven downstream and a braking downstream zone through which the chips are forced, the chips thus being driven through the sheath while being braked in the braking zones and while being transformed into fibers. The transit time for which the chips remain in the sheath lies in the range 1.5 s to 80 s, and provision is made for the pressure to be at least substantially equal to 90 bars upstream from the braking zone of the upstream series, so that a temperature lying in the range 120° to 150° C. is reached inside the sheath (10) without supplying external heat.
