A process for manufacturing a mat of mineral fibers, wherein fibers are formed and a binding compound resulting from the mixture of a binder composition with dilution water is applied on the fibers, the fibers impregnated with the binding compound are collected on a perforated receiving device equipped with a fiber-receiving surface and, below the surface, at least one suction duct, and the mat is heat treated. The process includes determining an optimal amount of dilution water as a function of the humidity of the air in the fiberizing station, of the humidity of the intake air and of the intake air flow rate in the at least one suction duct, and of the desired amount of water in the mat at the outlet of the receiving chamber, and adjusting the amount of dilution water as a function of the optimal amount thus determined.
