PURPOSE: To recycle an automotive interior panel part material by decomposing a wood fiber composite into a directly reusable fiber material and separating a lining from a wooden fiber material.

CONSTITUTION: An old molding 2 hung on a chain conveyer 1 is passed through a heated water bath 3 to soften the molding 2. The softened molding 2 is introduced into a separating apparatus by means of a conveyer 7 and a fitting tool 17 detached by pushing it into a gap of a pair of a plurality of felting rolls 28 are made to fall down into a storing container 18. When the softened composite 32 is introduced into an apparatus 9 by means of a continuous conveyer 27, the composite 32 is forwarded by means of a pair of rolls 11 and wood fiber material of the composite 32 is opened by action of tensile force of a needle roll 10 with a faster speed than that of a pair of rolls 11 and the lining is roughly torn. The wood fiber material receives suction action of a vacuum tank 14 by a pair of bran rollers 19 and is removed.
