PRODUCTION OF FIBER-REINFORCED SHEET AND ITS PRODUCING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the thermoplastic resin in the fiber-reinforced sheet from sticking to the heating means. SOLUTION: In this production machine a composition of reinforcing fibers and a thermoplastic resin is formed in a flat mat and the mat-form composition 1 is melted by heating, then pressed and cooled down to convert to the objective fiber-reinforced sheet 13. At this time, the mat-form composition 1 passes through the positions apart from the heating means HM in the heating zone where the thermoplastic resin in the mat-form composition 1 is heated to its melt state.
