PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce energy necessary for producing a nonwoven fabric.SOLUTION: An apparatus for producing a nonwoven fabric comprises: an extruder 15 for extruding a molten resin; an air blower 16; a heating device 17 for heating air sent from the air blower 16; and a melt-blowing section 11 for spinning the molten resin supplied from the extruder 15 into a filament shape and blowing the heated air supplied from the heating device 17 against the molten resin in the filament shape. The apparatus further comprises a rotating roller 14 for accumulating, on an outer peripheral surface thereof, the resin F spun by the melt-blowing section 11 to form a nonwoven fabric C, and for feeding the nonwoven fabric C; and a circulating mechanism 20 for circulating the heated air blown out of the melt-blowing section 11 to an intake part 16a of the air blower 16. |
