The invention relates to a method for producing an air-laid fibrous web from a fibrous material (200), in which the fibrous material (200) is processed with low
water content to form a frayed fibrous material (209) and the fibrous web is formed from the frayed fibrous material in an air-laying process. During
processing, the
fiber material is further processed stepwise into fiberized material at least in a
comminution device (221), then in at least a first fiberizing device (222) and then in a final fiberizing device (223). The invention is characterized in that
cutting elements of a rotor in the last fiberizing device (223) move at the same or a higher speed than
cutting elements of a rotor in the first fiberizing device (222), and thereby a first fiberized
fiber material (205), comprising individual fibers and
fiber bundles with nodes, is formed from the
chip-shaped fiber material (201, 202, 203, 204) in the first fiberizing device (222), and a final fiberized fiber material (208, 209) is formed in the subsequent last fiberizing device (223), which has a higher proportion of individual fibers and a lower proportion of fiber bundles with nodes than the first fiber material (205).
