A rotary fiberizer (10) includes a spinner (12) for centrifuging fibers (30) from molten material (26) along a path generally coplanar with the spinner, and a pair of opposed annular blowers (18, 20) positioned on opposite sides of the path (32) of the centrifuged fibers, with the blowers having an interior face (34) which is oriented toward the path of the centrifuged fibers, and the blowers having an exterior face (36) which is oriented away from the path of the centrifuged fibers. An induced air conduit (40) associated with each of the blowers is adapted to supply air to the path of centrifuged fibers, and the exterior faces of the blowers contain blower openings to discharge attenuation gases into the induced air conduits to attenuate the centrifuged fibers.
