  • Patent number: 7824095
    Abstract: A package for reinforcing fibers to be used in production of fiber concrete or similar materials. The package has a continuous, elongated design with a circular, elliptical, square, rectangular or polygonal cross section. The fibers are longitudinally or transversally or randomly oriented and are filled into the package, wherein the fibers are uniformly arranged so that each length unit of the package has a defined amount of fibers. The continuous package is arranged into a transport box to be delivered to a concrete plant. The continuous package is fed to a conveyer belt, an aggregate belt, a skip, a weigh hopper, a truckmixer, or a premixer, wherein the package is opened and the fibers are dosed into the concrete.

  • Publication number: 20080210524
    Abstract: A device (10) and a method for dispensing fibres into concrete or similar material comprises a container (11) with an essential cylindrical shape. The container (11) has a bottom (13), an inner side (14) having a height (15) and a spiral path (12) arranged to the inner side (14). A first end of the spiral path (12) is arranged close to the bottom (13). The spiral path (12) has a width (18) that increases with the height (15) from the bottom (13) to the top of the container (11). The angle of inclination for the spiral path (12) decreases with the height (15) from the bottom (13) to the top of the container (11). The method comprises supplying the fibres into the container (11), vibrating the container (11) for feeding the fibres along the spiral path (12) and feeding the fibres continuously from the device (10) to the concrete.
