Zusammenfassung: | A process for producing a consolidated sheet of substantially dry fibrous material, for example wood pulp, comprising supplying fibrous material, having a moisture content of not more than 30 percent by weight on the total weight of the fibrous material, to a hopper and onto a gas-pervious conveyor while drawing gas through the conveyor (and through the fibrous material thereon), carrying the dry fibrous material on the conveyor surface from the hopper beneath means for reducing upward protrusions therefrom to form a layer of the fibrous material and applying pressure to said layer to consolidate the fibrous material to form a coherent sheet. |
