Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a processing device which includes a fluffing section for fluffing fibers contained in a sheet-like material, the fibers being at least near a surface of the sheet-like material, and a particle supplying section for supplying particles having Mohs hardness of 2 to 5 to the fluffed fibers. In addition, in such processing device, the particle supplying section preferably has an ejecting portion for ejecting the particles.
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A processing device comprising: a fluffing section that fluffs fibers contained in a sheet-like material, the fibers being at least near a surface of the sheet-like material; and a particle supplying section that supplies particles having Mohs hardness of 2 to 5 to the fluffed fibers. 2. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particle supplying section has an ejecting portion that ejects the particles. 3. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particles have a function of adsorbing alien substances contained in the sheet-like material. 4. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particles have a function of colliding with alien substances contained in the sheet-like material to peel the alien substances off from the fibers. 5. The processing device according to claim 3 , further comprising an alien substance-removing section that removes the alien substances together with the particles from the sheet-like material. 6. The processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising a defibrating section that defibrates the sheet-like material in an aerial manner after the particles are supplied, wherein the alien substance-removing section removes the alien substances and the particles before the defibration. 7. The processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising a defibrating section that defibrates the sheet-like material in an aerial manner after the particles are supplied, wherein the alien substance-removing section removes the alien substances and the particles after the defibration. 8. The processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising an alien substance-aggregating section that is disposed between the particle supplying section and the alien substance-removing section and aggregates the alien substances. 9. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particles are formed of a resin-based material. 10. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the particles are formed of a plant-based material. 11. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluffing section has a brush. 12. The processing device according to claim 11 , wherein the brush has a rotatably-supported cylindrical or columnar core portion, and brush bristles provided on an outer periphery of the core portion. 13. The processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluffing section has a plurality of claw portions. 14. A sheet manufacturing apparatus comprising the processing device according to claim 1 . 15. A processing method comprising: fluffing fibers contained in a sheet-like material, the fibers being at least near a surface of the sheet-like material; and supplying particles having Mohs hardness of 2 to 5 to the fluffed fibers. 16. A manufacturing method of a sheet, comprising: fluffing fibers contained in a sheet-like material, the fibers being at least near a surface of the sheet-like material; and supplying particles having Mohs hardness of 2 to 5 to the fluffed fibers, wherein the sheet is manufactured from the sheet-like material after the particles are supplied.
