NOVELTY - The apparatus (100) has a compressor (130) to receive fibrous material and compress the fibrous material. A mold pipe system (140) receives compressed fibrous material from the compressor. The compressor is configured to press the fibrous material through the mold pipe system. A heat chamber (150) heats the fibrous material within the mold pipe system and creates an encapsulation layer on the fibrous material.    USE - Apparatus e.g. carpet pellet machine for processing shredded carpet fibers into fuel pellet.    ADVANTAGE - The refuse carpet fiber is recycled effectively, and used as fuel source. The transportation cost, processing variations, and handling difficulties are reduced. The diameter and length of pipe in the compression zone and/or the heating zone are adjusted to control feed rate, cook time, and compression amount.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A sizer (160) segments encapsulated fibrous material after passing through the heat chamber. A compactor (120) compacts loose fibrous material to the compressor. A hopper (110) receives loose fibrous material to be provided to the compressor. The heat chamber is formed within the mold pipe system and the heat is provided by an inductor. The mold pipe system passes through a heat chamber that uses a hot working fluid to heat the mold pipe system. The compressor includes a compression ram having ram rods (134) that compress fibrous material into mold pipe system. The compactor compacts fibrous material into a compaction chamber and the compression ram presses compacted fibrous material into the mold pipe system. The encapsulation layer is formed circumferentially around the fibrous material which contacts the mold pipe system. The shredded carpet fiber is processed by compressing fibrous material. The fibrous material is fed through a conduit. The conduit is heated enough to melt a portion of the fibrous material. The fibrous material is melted to create an encapsulation layer that bonds fibrous material together. The heated encapsulated fibrous material is segmented. The loose fibrous material is compacted prior to compressing the fibrous material. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for method for processing shredded carpet fibers into fuel pellet.
