Abstract
A textile fiber recycling machine for reprocessing hard thread waste, woven and non-woven fabrics, carpets, rugs, and the like. Material to be recycled is fed in pieces, or in roll form, into the machine. The machine includes a plurality of wire wound rolls positioned adjacent to one another and operating at successively higher rotational speeds from the inlet side to the outlet side of the machine. Closely spaced adjacent the rollers are carding segments. The rollers downstream of the entry roller include pairs of carding segments, with the leading carding segment being wire clothed, and the trailing carding segment being covered with a granular covering, such as sandpaper. The machine outputs open, usable fibers which can be used in subsequent conventional textile processes. A method of attaching sandpaper to a carding segment is also disclosed.
