APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LAYING DOWN SYNTHETIC FIBRES TO FORM A NONWOVEN
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for laying down synthetic fibres to form a nonwoven, in which the synthetic fibres are blown through a drawing nozzle as a fibre stream in a free space in the direction of a laydown belt. According to the invention, before it impinges on the laydown belt, the fibre stream is guided through a guiding section which is formed between two guiding means, wherein one of the guiding means is arranged on a belt exit side and an opposite guide means is arranged on a belt inlet side and they form an open fibre inlet gap at a spacing from the drawing nozzle for the entry into the guiding section, and wherein the guiding section extends as far as the laydown belt.
