Abstract
The invention relates to a device for preparing composite material waste, in particular carbon fiber-reinforced waste, comprising a comminuting assembly (2) for the composite material waste, a downstream temperature control zone (3) for controlling the temperature of the comminuted composite material waste, and a forming unit (4) for producing composite material waste compacts. In order to provide companies without recycling facilities, regardless of the type of composite material waste, with a low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to dumping harmful composite material waste in landfills, it is proposed that the comminuting assembly (2), the temperature control zone (3) and the forming unit (4) are arranged in an at least substantially hermetically sealed and transportable working chamber (1).
