摘要

A system for creating a blended fiber pad made from a mixture of alpaca fiber and a selected natural fiber. The fiber pad is used for bedding products, cushions, toppers and furniture. The system includes a washing station for cleaning and processing the fiber mixture and a pad forming machine. The washing station is used to thoroughly wash, clean and dry the alpaca fiber and the natural fiber. The washing station includes a series of wash tanks, squeeze pads and drying racks. The dried alpaca fiber and dried natural fiber are then baled and fed into the pad forming machine. The pad forming machine includes a plurality of individual sections with a series of conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are used for conveying the fiber mixture and a bond material from one station to the next and creating a finished blended fiber pad.
