    Abstract: A dry forming plant is described which comprises at least one distribution unit having a fibre and air inlet. Such distribution unit is placed above a forming wire opposite to at least one vacuum box which is connected to a suction unit. The distribution unit has an open bottom for release of the fibre material onto the forming wire below the distribution unit. More rotating rollers having protruding spikes are provided in the distribution unit for covering the cross sectional area of the open bottom. The vacuum box is divided into at least three longitudinal zones in a direction transversal to the advance direction of the forming wire. Said longitudinal zones have upwardly orientated intakes arranged below the forming wire. The longitudinal zones are connected with the suction unit via an outlet. The outlet comprises first shut-off means for partly or totally closing the outlet. The first shut-off means are independently operable.

    Abstract: Method and device for depositing a fiber material layer on a carrier, such as using an electrospinning process. The device includes a deposition unit positioned remote from the carrier during operation, and the deposition unit is arranged for forming the fiber material layer on the carrier in a continuous manner A carrier feed unit is provided for feeding the carrier in a transport direction with a predetermined speed, and the carrier includes a plurality of carrier plates. A cutting unit is present and arranged downstream from the deposition unit, the cutting unit being arranged to cut the deposited fiber material layer in between two adjacent ones of the plurality of carrier plates.

    Abstract: An apparatus for making spunbonded nonwovens has a spinneret for emitting continuous thermoplastic filaments in a filament-travel direction, a cooling chamber downstream in the direction from the spinneret for cooling the spun filaments with cooling air, two manifolds on opposite sides of the cooling chamber opening transversely of the direction into the cooling chamber, and a respective conduit having a conduit cross-sectional area and connected to each manifold for feeding cooling air thereto. The conduit cross-sectional area increases toward the manifold to a manifold cross-sectional area, and manifold cross-sectional area is at least twice as large as the conduit cross-sectional area. At least one flow straightener is provided upstream from the cooling chamber in each manifold for orienting air flow in an air-flow direction, and at least one perforated planar homogenizing element is provided in each manifold for homogenizing the cooling air flow.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal insulation product based on mineral wool comprising mineral fibers, the product comprising two main faces and longitudinal and transverse edges perpendicular to the main faces, the product being characterized by the following orientation fractions: a longitudinal orientation fraction greater than or equal to 48 %, or even 50 %, along an angle of more or less 6° with respect to the plane of the main faces, when the mineral fibers are counted only in a longitudinal cross-section, and a mean orientation fraction greater than or equal to 40 %, or even 45 %, along an angle of more or less 6° with respect to the plane of the main faces, when the mineral fibers are counted both in a transverse cross-section and in a longitudinal cross-section. The invention allows the insulating power of a thermal insulation product based on mineral wool to be improved without increasing its thickness.
