to a uniform thickness in a suitable metering device 24 and thereafter converted into bales of pulp in a baler 25 or alternatively fed directly into a pulper to form a pulp slurry for making paper in the conventional manner in addition the recovered fibers can be fed directly to an air forming apparatus for producing air laid webs or batts those skilled in the art will recognize that a variety of apparatus or equipment can be used in performing the functions illustrated herein in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the process of the present invention dry fiberizing of a wet strength broke source in accordance with the present invention was carried out using a pulverizer as the fiberizer apparatus additional wet strength broke of the same source was also wet fiberized using hypo bleach to compare the two processes against one another the wet strength broke source originated from scott towels the results are set forth in table i below the properties of the scotto u00ae towel broke that was used in the example are as follows after the broke was reduced to individual fibers using the hypo bleach process and the dry fiberizing process of the present invention paper hand sheets were formed from the fibers and tested in particular the hand sheets were tested for their drainage properties canadian standard freeness tappi test for tensile strength for stretch characteristics for slope for caliper for tear resistance for porosity for brightness using an elrepho photoelectric reflectance photometer for opacity and for weighted average fiber length wafl which.
