    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to achieve at least one of the following: preventing contamination of SMC manufacturing line, maintaining the cleanliness of mechanical elements included in SMC manufacturing apparatus, preventing failure of control equipment installed in or around SMC manufacturing apparatus, and preventing deterioration of working environment. The method of manufacturing a sheet molding compound, comprises (i) allowing short fiber bundles to fall onto a travelling carrier film, while dispersing the short fiber bundles using a dispersion roller device, thereby depositing a fiber mat on the carrier film, and (ii) impregnating the fiber mat with a thermosetting resin composition, wherein the dispersion roller device has a rotationally driven dispersion roll, bearings, a first side cover, and a second side cover, wherein the dispersion roll comprises a roll body and roll body-adjoining parts, and an inner circumferential surface of a circular opening provided in each of the first and second side covers and a cylindrical circumferential surface of each of the roll body-adjoining parts face each other.
