Claims18
A method for separating sewing threads and carbon fibres, characterized in that carbon fibre mats, pieces of carbon fibre mats, or carbon fibre agglomerates interspersed with sewing threads are fed to at least one turning roller covered with card clothing and are thus broken up into fibres and fibre bundles and in that the fibres and fibre bundles are carried along by the at least one roller, by means of which at least some of the carbon fibres detach from the at least one roller and at least some of the sewing threads remain on at least one roller.
An apparatus for separating sewing threads and carbon fibres, comprising at least one turning roller covered with card clothing for breaking up carbon fibre mats, carbon fibre mat pieces or carbon fibre agglomerates interspersed with sewing threads into fibres and fibre bundles.
