Abstract: In the manufacture of a fiber fleece with a nonwoven producing means and a fleece laying machine, which produces from a single or multi-layered nonwoven web contionuously discharged by the nonwoven producing means a fleece web having a thickness variable across the laying width, the nonwoven web is cyclically drawn on the way between the nonwoven producing means and the fleece laying machine at a fixedly determined location, said drawing depending on the laying movements of the fleece laying machine to form a fleece web of a regular cross sectional profile. Between a separate drawing equipment performing the drawing process and the inlet into the fleece laying machine, the nonwoven web may run through a separate, variable buffer storage, which adapts the speed fluctuations of the nonwoven web on the outlet side of the drawing equipment to the intake speed of the fleece laying machine.
