METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING OF NON-WOVEN FABRIC FROM RECYCLED CARBON FIBERS AND THE NON-WOVEN FABRIC SO FORMED

摘要

A method and apparatus (100) for manufacturing of a non-woven fabric from recycled carbon fibers, being in the form of flock, piece, etc., and the non-woven fabric, wherein the method comprises the steps of: - discontinuous cutting of the fibers, carried out so as to obtain size- homogeneous fibers of selected length; - mixing the fibers with auxiliary fibers, carried out concomitantly with, subsequently to, the cutting step; - orienting and cohesioning the mixed fibers in the previous step to obtain a fiber lap; and, forming the lap obtained in the previous step to obtain the non- woven fabric.
