Abstract
This plant for manufacturing fiber-reinforced thermoplastic structural components, especially for motor vehicles, is characterized in that it includes: PA1 means (1) of continuous production of a dough of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic compound, receiving as input, on the one hand, the thermoplastic (4) and, on the other hand, the reinforcing fibers (6); PA1 means (14) of accumulation and of temporary storage of the dough produced; and PA1 means (26) of removing the dough from the accumulation and temporary-storage means (14) and of introducing this removed dough into a mould (29) for forming the component.
