ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for depositing straight elongate fiber-bundle strands, such as sugarcane or sweet sorghum rind strands, in a loose pile on a conveyor with the strands randomly oriented in substantially parallel planes during manufacture of structural panel from such strands. The method includes dropping bit by bit a randomly-oriented collection of strands over a drop edge located above the conveyor and flicking the strands onto the conveyor by quick downward motion of counter-rotating arrays of flicker tines in the drop zone.
