Abstract
A sheet manufacturing apparatus that shortens the time until the apparatus stops is provided. The sheet manufacturing apparatus has a sieve unit having at least part of material defibrated in a defibration process introduced thereto, moving at a first speed, and passing defibrated material through multiple openings disposed in the main section thereof; and a forming unit forming a sheet using precipitate that past through the openings of the sieve unit; the sheet manufacturing apparatus stopping the sieve unit with defibrated material that was introduced stored inside the sieve unit when production by the sheet manufacturing apparatus stops.
Claims5
A sheet manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a sieve unit having at least part of material defibrated in a defibration process introduced thereto, moving at a first speed, and passing the defibrated material through multiple openings disposed in the main section thereof;
- and
- a forming unit forming a sheet using precipitate that past through the openings of the sieve unit;
- the sheet manufacturing apparatus stopping the sieve unit with defibrated material that was introduced stored inside the sieve unit.
A sheet manufacturing method comprising:
- a step of introducing at least part of material defibrated in a defibration process to a sieve unit, moving a main section of the sieve unit at a first speed, and passing the defibrated material through multiple openings disposed in the main section;
- and
- a step of forming a sheet using precipitate that past through the openings of the sieve unit;
- the sheet manufacturing method stopping the sieve unit with defibrated material that was introduced stored inside the sieve unit.
