Study Notes
Take-off of Material
-
Piecing
- Detaching roller moves backward, and nipper moves forward
- Detaching roller then moves forward to detach the web, creating a coherent web
- This process creates a wave-like structure in the sliver with periodic variations
- The sliver contains periodic irregularities due to the piecing process
-
Combed Web Structure
- PD = Piecing distance or piecing period
- FL = Fiber length
- AL = Detaching length
- FP = Fiber package length
- FP is greater than AL + FL
-
Irregularity in the sliver
- Spectrogram peaks are at about 30-75 cm
- This irregular pattern should be minimized
-
Eccentric Withdrawal of the Web
- The web is withdrawn eccentrically from the web plate
- Machine settings are based on flat parallelograms
- Parallelograms are laid on each other to minimize unevenness, and any unevenness is partly cancelled out
- Incorrect setting will cause an increase in unevenness (Thick or Thin fault)
-
Delivery of the Web
- The forward component (V) is larger than the backward component (R)
- Effective take-off (T) is calculated as V-R
- Modern combers have a backward movement that is about 60% of the forward movement
-
Withdrawal of the Web and Formation of a Sliver
- The web is collected into a sliver by the trumpet (T)
- The sliver is deposited on the sliver table (B) by the calender rollers (K)
- There is a web plate (V) for reserve material between the detaching (R) and withdrawing rollers (Z)
- The web can be collected toward the center line (a) on older web pans, or to one side (b) as on the web plate in modern combers
-
Collection of the Web
- If the web is collected toward the center line (a), slightly thicker piecing lines form curved piecing waves
- If the web is collected to one side (b), the piecing lines form diagonals
- The collection of the web is performed by the sliver trumpet (T)
- The size of the trumpet (T) is based on the sliver hank
-
Calender Rollers
- Calender rollers (K) are used to condense the sliver
-
Sliver Take-off
- Slivers are deflected through 90° by the deflector
