<p>A defibrator (1) is disclosed which makes it possible to distribute defibrated cellulosic fibers directly onto a forming wire (5). The defibrator (1) comprises ribs (33) extending inside a cylindrical housing (24). The ribs have outer curved surfaces which direct fibers into an area (35) in which beater plates (25) are acting. A grate (37) in front of an outlet (30) from the circular housing (24) is arranged at the periphery (35) for the rotation of the beater plates (25). The grate has an interspace between grate bars only allowing fibers to pass through. Accordingly, agglomerates are returned into the working area of the beater plates (25). As the beater plates (25) act several times on agglomerates it is ensured that only individual fibers pass through the grate (37). Accordingly, fibers are discharged directly onto the forming wire (5) from a discharge opening (2) of the defibrator (1). Preferably, the discharge opening (2) has a width corresponding to the width of the product to be formed on the forming wire.</p> |
