<p>Disclosed is a recycling process for complex textile structures, such as floor or wall coverings, consisting in: selectively sorting the materials to be recycled so as to obtain a homogenous mixture of the materials to be processed; filamentation of said materials to form a mixture of fibers of varying lengths. During this filamentation process, the non-fibrous components constituting a portion of the base structure can be eliminated; incorporation into the fiborus mixture of any additives that may be required to manufacture the final product; formation of a lap from the fibrous mixture obained; heat treatment of the newly formed lap in order to fuse a portion of the fibrous constituents of the mixture or to polymerize an additive, this heat treatment being performed by placing the lap between two conveyors permeable to air, inside a chamber subjected to a hot inflow; cooling of the newly formed lap.</p> |
