Abstract
A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a mixing unit and a forming unit. The mixing unit is configured to mix fibers and a composite, where a resin and a wax are integrally combined, in air. The forming unit is configured to form a sheet by depositing and heating a mixed material where the fibers and the composite are mixed.
Claims14
A sheet manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a mixing unit configured to mix, in air, fibers and a composite that includes a resin and a wax which are integrally combined;
- and
- a forming unit configured to form a sheet by depositing and heating a mixed material where the fibers and the composite are mixed.
A sheet manufacturing method comprising:
- mixing, in air fibers and a composite that includes a resin and a wax which are integrally combined;
- and
- forming by depositing and heating a mixed material where the fibers and the composite are mixed.
A sheet which includes fibers and a composite that includes a resin and a wax which are integrally combined, as a stock material, wherein
- the fibers and the composite are bonded.
A container configured to contain a composite where a resin and a wax are integrally combined and which is used by being mixed with fibers.
A composite where a resin and a wax are integrally combined and which is used by being mixed with fibers.
A composite which is used in a sheet manufacturing apparatus and where a resin and a wax are integrally combined.
A sheet manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a blower which generates air flow and mixes a defibrated material including a fiber with an additive agent to produce a mixture of the defibrated material and the additive agent, the additive agent including a composite where resin and wax are integrally combined;
- a sifter which has a net, and which untangles the mixture and screens the mixture by the net;
- a belt, the screened mixture which passes through the sifter being deposited at an upper side of the belt to make a web;
- and
- a heating roller which heats the web to form a sheet.
