See full text

A tool and a method are described for sheathing an elongated product available by the measured length, in particular in the form of a fiber or a fiber bundle, with at least one thermoplastic layer, with a wetting unit comprising at least one contact zone that can be filled with a flowable thermoplastic, through which the elongated product can be guided for the purpose of wetting with the thermoplastic in the form of a continuously progressing strand. The invention has a first feeding area for the elongated product and a second feeding area for the thermoplastic to emerge into the at least one contact zone. The contact zone comprises at least one outlet area and has a means is provided along the second feeding area, by which the thermoplastic can be introduced, subject to pressure, into the contact zone in the direction of the outlet area. The elongated product guided into the contact zone is carried along lengthwise through the outlet area by the thermoplastic solely by way of frictional force between the thermoplastic and the elongated product.
