Fiber web forming apparatus

An arrangement for forming a fiber web in which the fibers are more evenly distributed adjacent outer surfaces thereof comprising:

• a pair of chutes, receiving first and second batches of opened and blended fibers;
• a mixing chamber beneath said chutes for receiving said opened and blended fibers from said chutes in selected quantities;
• first and second independently driven feed rolls arranged adjacent exit ends of said chutes and adjacent an upper portion of a mixing chamber;
• a third feed roll, a comber roll and a beater roll within said chamber and spaced from said chute exit ends;
• independent drives for said feed rolls, said comber roll and said beater roll;
• a fiber batt forming a chamber having an entrance adjacent said chamber exit and a delivery end, said forming chamber including a packing belt;
• a press roll adjacent said delivery end of said forming chamber;
• independent drives for said packing belt and said press roll;
• wherein
• individually selected quantities of said opened and blended fibers of said first batch and said second batch are delivered into said chamber by said first and second feed rolls, said first and second quantities of said fibers are further blended within said chamber by said third feed roll, said comber roll and said beater roll, said beater roll passing said further opened and blended fibers into said forming chute where said fibers are compacted into a fiber batt and passed through said delivery end and beneath said press roll compacting said fiber batt into its desired density.
