the invention relates to a fibre bundle impregnating process , in which the fibre bundle is placed on a support and the support , together with the fibre bundle thereon , is moved past an impregnating device . in this process the fibre bundle is supported during the impregnation process and consequently a fibre - reinforced plastic is produced , fibre breaks being largely avoided during its production . one of the possible variants of the inventive concept comprises an impregnating wheel , which receives the fibre bundle and leads it past an impregnating device .
