Abstract: A semifinished product formed from fiber reinforced thermoplastic material, with the semifinished product including a solid covering of fibers and thermoplastic material, which resolidifies, after melting, and a felt or wadding-like core of a fiber-polymer mixture. The core may be formed from a compressed material and the semifinished product may have either a cylindrical or oval shape. The solid covering has a thickness of less than 20% of the radius of the semifinished product, with the thickness preferably being a maximum of 10 millimeters.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing batches of a mouldable, fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material matched to a moulding to be produced and accompanied by heating, wherein a free-flowing initial product of fibres and thermoplastic material-containing binders are heated as a strand and a matched batch is separated from the strand and supplied to batch further processing. The apparatus includes a melting device with a melting channel, through which the material to be processed is pressed as a continuous strand, as well as a cooling station.

Abstract: A process for producing batches of a mouldable, fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material matched to a moulding to be produced and accompanied by heating, wherein quantities of an initial product of fibres and thermoplastic material-containing binder are intermittently moved into a preheating station, and intermittently moved therefrom through a melting channel as a strand and a matched batch is separated from the strand and supplied for batch further processing.

Abstract: A tangled fibrous material from cut glass fibre bundles, with the cut glass fiber bundler being fed into a compressed air flow and a glass fibre-laden air being deflected into a turbulent eddy flow of varying direction, so that a tangled fibrous material of wadding-like consistency is formed. Through the simultaneous addition of dry polymer-based binder powder, it is possible to obtain a tangled fibrous material as a starting product for a production of glass fibre-reinforced plastic moundings, which can be compressed to a felt. This can be packed as an intermediate or further processed in a heated belt press to glass fibre-reinforced plastic plates.
