Patent ID: 8597556

Claim:
A method for producing long fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin pellets, comprising: pultruding a plurality of reinforced fiber bundles in a molten thermoplastic resin while twisting the reinforced fiber bundles to form a strand in which reinforced fibers are coated with the thermoplastic resin, wherein the strand is pultruded by 60 to 80 m/min with respect to the pultruding direction; and cutting the strand to a predetermined length to obtain the pellets, wherein the strand is pultruded under conditions that melt viscosity of the thermoplastic resin is adjusted such that a melt flow rate is 500 to 1,500 g/10 min, and a twisting angle θ of the reinforced fiber bundles with respect to a pultruding direction of the strand is set to 0°<θ≦50°.
