Abstract: A fiber mat as well as its method of fabrication and forming machine are described. The fiber mat comprises a plurality of fibers which are limitations bound together and distributed throughout the mat, and wherein some of the fibers are inclined towards a central horizontal plane of the mat. The inclined fibers on opposed sides of the mat have opposed angles of inclination whereby the mat, when used as insulation, can be easily separated substantially along the central horizontal plane by applying a pulling force on one side or opposed sides of the mat in the direction of the inclined fibers. The forming machine is characterized by having two forming surfaces, one disposed horizontally and the other vertically whereby the mat is formed with higher density towards the opposed flat horizontal surfaces of the mat and the lower density is distributed along the central horizontal plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and an apparatus for blending substances in a highly accurate manner. The process consists of delivering an amount of a first substance into a mixing vessel and determining the weight of the amount of the first substance actually delivered. From the weight measured and the proportion of a second substance in the final blend an amount of the second substance is calculated and discharged in the mixing vessel, and same for each additional substance.
