A FULLY AUTOMATED TEXTILE WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPENING, CLEANING, AND BIT ELIMINATION

摘要

The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for recycling raw material and fibers (e.g. used clothing, non-woven, and other textile waste) to produce clean and open fibers that may be used in new textile products. The present invention produces fibers that may be used for re-spinning into yarn or into non-woven products. More specifically, the present invention comprises a fully automated textile waste processing line for the purpose of opening (C), cleaning (D), and bit elimination (E). The system may also include a computerized weigh technology, a secondary fiber feed and/or fluid additions.
