Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sheet manufacturing apparatus configured to manufacture a sheet by heating and pressurizing a material containing a fiber and an additive agent includes a supplying unit configured to supply the additive agent in air, a first tank configured to communicate with the supplying unit and store the additive agent, and a second tank configured to communicate with the first tank, store the additive agent, and be able to detach from the sheet manufacturing apparatus.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A sheet manufacturing apparatus configured to manufacture a sheet by heating and pressurizing a material containing a fiber and an additive agent, the apparatus comprising: a supplying unit configured to supply an additive agent in air; a first tank configured to communicate with the supplying unit and store the additive agent; and a second tank configured to communicate with the first tank, store the additive agent, and be able to detach from the sheet manufacturing apparatus. 2 . The sheet manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first tank includes a first detection unit capable of detecting an absence of the additive agent in the first tank. 3 . The sheet manufacturing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising: a transferring unit configured to transport the additive agent from the second tank to the first tank, wherein the first tank includes a second detection unit capable of detecting that an amount of the additive agent in the first tank reaches an upper limit. 4 . The sheet manufacturing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the first tank includes a third detection unit between the first detection unit and the second detection unit in a vertical direction. 5 . The sheet manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first tank includes a hole configured to communicate with an outside of the first tank on the upper side thereof. 6 . The sheet manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second tank includes a fourth detection unit capable of detecting an absence of the additive agent in the second tank.
