An apparatus and method is disclosed for disintegrating a plurality of sheets 20, 28 of fibrous material within a casing 4 by means of impacting means 7 carried by a rotor 6 mounted within the casing 4. The disintegrated fiber 21, 29 from each sheet is separately exhausted from the casing though discharge openings 14, 16 in the casing wall 5 and thereafter is passed through a separate forming chamber 42, 44 and is deposited onto a foraminous member 34. Each of the fibrous sheets 20, 28 may be of a different type of fiber and the separate fibers may be consecutively deposited onto the foraminous member 34 whilst it is moving to form a layered batt structure 36. <IMAGE> |
