Abstract:
A process for producing a precursor material for the manufacture of a composite material granulate, said precursor material comprising a polymer material and a fibre material, said process comprising the steps of, in this order; agitate a polymer material and a fibre material in a blending device comprising a blending means by operating the blending means at a velocity sufficient to bring about an increase of the temperature to at least a temperature beyond the VI CAT softening point, or a temperature within or beyond the melting temperature range of the polymer material; b. maintain the velocity of the blending means; c. when the specific motor power needed to maintain the velocity of the blending means increases by a predetermined amount or reaches a predetermined value, reduce the velocity by a predetermined amount; d. repeat the previous step c. until the velocity falls below a first threshold value, thereby forming an intermediate material; e. comminuting the formed intermediate material in a, preferably cooled, comminuting device comprising a comminuting means by operating the comminuting means at a velocity allowing a decrease in temperature, until the temperature falls below a second threshold value, thereby forming the precursor material.
