Textile waste preparing for the production of non-wovens produced by the wet pressing process

The quality of nonwovens produced by wet pressing technology is determined by the properties of the fibrous waste. The defining feature is the length. The fibers are non-uniform in length. So they must be prepared for the recycling. The parameters of the equipment for cutting of textile waste are determined. The length of cutting length depends on the speed rate of the material in the cutting area and the speed of rotation of the rotor. The optimum length of fibers should be between 1 and 6 mm, therefore, the recommended operating parameters of the cutting tool are: the value of the rotor in the sleeve gap 0,02-0,04 mm; rotor speed 1600-3000 min-1; flow rate 5-13 m/min.
