Abstract
An apparatus for disintegrating a carbon fiber fabric. The apparatus includes a water vessel containing water, with an ultrasonic wave oscillator immersed in the water and a guide plate for the fabric being located in opposed relation to the oscillator. A conveyor is provided for continuously conveying the carbon fiber fabric along the side of the guide plate facing the oscillator. Sound waves generated by the oscillator function to press the carbon fiber fabric against the guide plate in a manner as to cause the fabric to be disintegrated under the effects of the ultrasonic waves.
