Process and arrangement for producing airborne fibers

摘要

A process for producing a flow of airborne fibers includes feeding a continuous length (2) of a thread bundle of fiber material from a stock (1) of fiber material through a roll press (4) which rotates at a rate of feed and with the thread bundle held fast in the nip between its rollers (11, 12), breaking off individual fibers from the thread bundle by means of a tearer (5), and carrying away the individual fibers broken off by the tearer by means of an air flow.
