Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016066621A1] The present invention relates to a method for preparing fibre entanglements for producing carbon fibre semi-finished products, comprising the following steps: a) preparing of fibre entanglements at least containing carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles in a spinal region; b) at least partial separating of the fibre entanglements in a turbulent flow in the spinal region to obtain separated carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles; c) optionally, air separation of separated carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles in the spinal region to obtain fractioned carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles; d) discharging of the separated carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundle obtained in step b) and/or fractionated carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles obtained in step c) from the spinal region into an alignment region, wherein the carbon fibre semi-finished products are obtained in or subsequently to step d). The method according to the invention further comprises at least one of the following steps: e) aligning of the carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles discharged in step d) in the flow direction of a laminar flow in the alignment region, wherein the carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles are stretched along the longitudinal axes thereof; f) outflow of the carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles discharged in step d) and, optionally, aligned in the flow direction of the laminar flow in step e); g) depositing of the carbon fibres and/or carbon fibre bundles discharged in step d) and, optionally, aligned in the flow direction of the laminar flow in step e) and/or, optionally, obtained outflowing in step f) as a carbon fibre strip in a depositing region.
