Abstract: A method and system for controlling the deposition of fibers issuing from a fiberizing unit in a veil which displaces portions of the veil with fluid streams, e.g., air blasts. A moving continuous collector screen receives the veil to form a mat of fibers. Speed of the collector is coordinated with the rate of deposition in determining the amount of fiber deposited per unit length of product. Air streams directed transversely of the direction of motion of the collector displace portions of the veil toward the collector edges. Absence of the air blast permits deposition of the veil to be concentrated on the collector center region. Application of gas streams in pulses cause splitting of the veil into sections which are displaced laterally across the collector with pulse frequency generally being increased with collector speed, and center to edge weight distribution of product being coordinated with the pulse interval length and the interval between pulses.
