<p>Process for the manufacture of staple fibres according to which glass fibres made up of continuous filaments coated with a nonaqueous sizing, in the liquid state and capable of reacting under the action of an actinic radiation, are chopped by a device also used for drawing them or for entraining them mechanically before being subjected to an actinic radiation. The invention also concerns a device for performing the process defined above and comprising at least one cutting and fiber-drawing member (100) on a member for cutting and entraining the sized threads as well as a first member (3) for receiving the cut threads and a second member (6) for receiving the cut threads, the cut threads falling simply by gravity from one member to another, and at least one source (4) of actinic radiation directed towards one of the areas in which the cut threads drop from one member to another and/or an actinic radiation source (5) directed to an area of a receiver member (3) and associated with at least one blower member (11) located below this area.</p> |
