Abstract
Process is disclosed which is suitable for high speed production of uniform, lightweight webs by air-laydown of textile fibers. A toothed disperser roll doffs the fibers into an air stream of high uniform velocity and low turbulence to form a thin fiber layer from which the fibers are deposited in web form on a moving screen. A curved disperser plate, shrouds a portion of the disperser roll up to the point of fiber doffing. By using a disperser plate with a rough surface, preferably one having lateral grooves, web uniformity is remarkably improved.
