Abstract
The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for impregnating a continuous fiber bundle or fiber bundles (10) with molten or fluid curing resin in manufacturing fiber reinforced material, the material comprising one or several fiber bundles (10) encircled by matrix resin. The fiber bundles (10) are so conducted to pass across the nozzle opening (13) that the resin runs through the nozzle (11) from a higher pressure zone through the fiber bundle (10) to a lower pressure zone.
