A double screw cutter for recycled carbon fiber material and a method of cutting recycled carbon fiber material by using the same are provided. The double screw cutter includes a housing and counter-rotating twin screws. A cut channel is formed in the housing while a long-fiber feed inlet, a mid-fiber feed inlet, and a short-fiber feed inlet are disposed on an outer surface of the housing and all communicated with the cut channel. A discharge outlet is arranged at a rear end of the housing and communicated with the cut channel. The counter-rotating twin screws are mounted in the cut channel of the housing and provided with two screw rods rotated in opposite directions simultaneously. Thereby recycled carbon fiber with different lengths is cut into a preset length and thus the following processes and applications of the recycled carbon fiber become more convenient.

A device and a method of flattening recycled carbon fiber material are provided. A main body is provided with two flat plates at an upper and a lower positions corresponding to each other and an ultrasonic unit is disposed on each of the flat plates. While in use, recycled carbon fiber material is placed at the lower flat plate and then at least one ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic unit is driven to work and vibrate the recycled carbon fiber material into a flat and thin state. After the flattened recycled carbon fiber material being pressurized to form products required, the product has flat and smooth surfaces with special textures. A thickness of the product can be controlled and the product can be thinned according to users' needs, without surface treatment such as grinding, polishing, etc. Thereby production cost is reduced and yield rate of the products is improved.
