DEVICE FOR FEEDING SHORT FIBERS

摘要

Disclosed is a device for feeding short fibers, especially chopped fibers, into an extruder or a machine for finishing the fibers. Said device comprises a container (5) which has a dosing opening (8) and an outlet (10) and which tapers towards the outlet (10) by means of at least two inclined container walls (7). At least one screw (11) for conveying fibers that have been dosed into the container (5) is disposed between the inclined container walls (7). The at least two inclined container walls (7) are designed as belt conveyor mechanisms (12, 13, 14) which assist the movement of the fibers towards the outlet (10). Preferably, the distance and/or the inclination of the container walls that are designed as belt conveyor mechanisms (12, 13, 14) relative to the screw (11) is/are adjustable.
