Abstract
An apparatus for disintegrating a fiber agglomerate has a feed tank for receiving and holding a batch of a fiber agglomerate. A turbulence chamber is connected to the feed tank for receiving a subquantity of the batch of fiber agglomerate and disintegrating the fiber agglomerate into separate fibers with air turbulence. A screening chamber is connected to the turbulence chamber for receiving the subquantity of the batch of fiber agglomerate and screening out separate fibers from shot particles and remaining fibers. The residual fibers and shot particles are fed back to the feed tank for reprocessing to obtain the maximum output of cleaned, separated fibers.
