PLANT FOR PRODUCTION OF COMPACTED ARTICLES REINFORCED WITH FIBRES AND METHOD OF PLANT OPERATION TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B29C70/46 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to continuous production of prepreg sheets reinforced with fibres. This plant comprises sheet making device composed of mixer, fulling and impregnating devices. Device comprises thickener, cutter and transfer mechanism. Transfer section is arranged in thickener between prepreg sheet entry point and its exit point. To change transfer section between entry and exit points, in fact, said thickener houses at least one actuator. At least two guide rollers are used in the set of transfer section. At least, one guide roller can be fitted by actuator at variable distance from second guide roller. At least one endless belt is arranged between elements of said transfer section. At least one actuator with mating actuator is arranged to change said transfer section. At least one section of belt conveyor is arranged between transfer section elements to vary its length and/or position by said actuator. At least one support table is arranged between transfer section elements, table length and position being varied by actuator.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
