Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1837429A1] The method for laying down synthetic fibers to form a non-woven, comprises removing the fibers from a melt spinning by a conveying fluid, accelerating the fiber into a guiding channel and leaving the conveying fluid and the fibers from the guiding channel as a fiber flow. The fiber flow is separated through a stacking belt guided diagonally to the channel and is directed before striking on the stacking belt, to a side in the direction of the stacking belt in such a way that the fibers strike the stacking belt in an angle of less than 60[deg] and traverse a path of less than 300 mm. The method for laying down synthetic fibers to form a non-woven, comprises removing the fibers from a melt-spinning by a conveying fluid, accelerating the fiber into a guiding channel and leaving the conveying fluid and the fibers from the guiding channel as a fiber flow. The fiber flow is separated through a stacking belt guided diagonally to the channel and is directed before striking on the stacking belt, to a side in the direction of the stacking belt in such a way that the fibers strike the stacking belt in an angle of less than 60[deg] and traverse a path of less than 300 mm. The intensity of the deviation of the fiber flow is changed depending on a process- or a product parameter. The deviation of the fiber flow is effected by a guiding plate, which extends itself sideways to the fibers between the guiding channel and the stacking belt, and by an additional air current, which flows in the direction of the stacking belt in a cross section through the fibers and also by a form body, which extends just above the stacking belt. The conveying fluid is injected into the guiding channel with an excess pressure of 0.5-5 bar. An independent claim is included for a device for laying down synthetic fibers to form a non-woven.
