  • Publication number: 20240368843
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for manufacturing molded parts (10) from biodegradable fiber material (11) by means of a fiber molding process in a fiber molding system (20), comprising the following steps of providing (110) a pulp (1) as a liquid solution containing a biodegradable fiber material; contacting (120) a suction tool (2) with the pulp by placing it on or at least partially dipping it into the pulp, wherein the suction tool comprises a suction head (21) with a three-dimensionally shaped suction head suction side (21i), whose shape is adapted to a contour of the subsequent molded part; molding (130) the molded part by sucking the fiber material onto the suction head suction side (21i) by means of negative pressure in the suction tool; pre-pressing (140) the molded part in a pre-pressing station (3) with a pre-pressing pressure (VD) to reduce a proportion of the liquid solution in the molded part; hot-pressing (150) the pre-pressed molding at a hot-pressing pressure (HD) for finishing the mo

  • Publication number: 20240368844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fiber-forming system (100) comprising at least a molding station (20) according to the invention, a preforming station (30) according to the invention and a hot-pressing station (40) according to the invention for producing a formed part (10) from environmentally-friendly-degradable fiber material (11) by means of a fiber-forming process executed in the fiber-forming system (100), wherein the fiber-forming system (100) is designed to enable an automatic change of tools (2, 3, 400, 40u) from the molding station (20), preforming station (30) and or hot-pressing station (40). The invention also relates to such a molding station (20), preforming station (30) and hot-pressing station (40) and a corresponding method (200) for automatically changing tools in the fiber-forming system (100).
