A device is described for producing a fiber product by laying down melt-spun fibers onto a laydown belt. A spinning device is associated with a top side of the laydown belt and a suction-extraction device is associated with the bottom side. A vacuum device has a movable suction chamber which interacts with the spinning device in order to lay down the fibers on the laydown belt. To generate a uniform suction flow in every position of the suction chamber, the suction chamber is formed from a stationary bottom box and a movable top box which are coupled to one another in a pressure-tight manner.

Device for producing a fiber product by laying down melt-spun fibers

An apparatus and a method for guiding and depositing synthetic fibers to form a nonwoven web is described. The apparatus has a drawing device, a deposit belt, and a plurality of guidance means disposed between the drawing device and the deposit belt, which form in pairs numerous merging guidance pathways for the guidance of a fiber curtain formed by the fibers. The guidance means have numerous air intake slits beneath the drawing device, which enable an introduction of a secondary airstream. Numerous air conducting elements disposed on one of the guidance means are associated with at least one of the air intake slits. In this manner at least one of the sub-streams of the secondary airstream laterally adjacent to the fiber curtain can be introduced to the fiber stream at an inflow angle that is at a right angle to the deposit belt.

Apparatus and method for guiding and depositing synthetic fibers to form a nonwoven web

A device for meltblowing of synthetic fibers utilizes an elongated spinneret packet that is held at the bottom side of the spinneret carrier. In order to supply process air the two elongated air tubes extend at the opposite longitudinal sides of the spinneret carrier, which are connected to an air distribution device having an air channel system in the spinneret carrier. In order to avoid thermal stress in the expansion joints between the air distribution device and the spinneret carrier as much as possible, the air distribution devices are embodied by means of multiple distribution segments having an expansion joint between adjacent distribution segments.
