  • Publication number: 20040089966
    Abstract: A new system and method for making agglomerates of chopped glass fiber strand segments is disclosed as are the agglomerates produced. The agglomerates, made by feeding wet chopped fiber strand segments into a wave chamber having a vibrating curved surface that produces a wave-like flow pattern in the segments and agglomerates, have a substantially higher bulk density and greatly improved flow characteristics than conventional chopped strand reinforcements. The wet agglomerates are usually dried in any conventional dryer.
