ranging from short cotton noils to man-made fibers with an 80 mm staple length.
Page 3
Function description:
The card system opens the supplied material, parallelizes the material fibers, separates out
foreign materials, and forms the produced web into a sliver.
• Via the AERO feed system (material supply) the tufts get into the separating head (1).
• The tufts are separated in the opening unit (2) and are then tossed into the lower section
of the card chute.
• From the lower section of the card chute, the material is transported into the material
opening unit (3) of the card.
• Doffers fitted with clothing or needles guide the tufts over mote knives and carding
elements for cleaning and preliminary opening. The licker-in transfers the material to the
cylinder. Depending on the machine version, the material is either processed by one
licker-in or by three.
• The cylinder (4) is fitted with cylinder clothing with extremely fine teeth. The clothing’s of
the card flats (5) have fine hooks. The cylinder (4) and the card flat (5) run in opposite
directions. The pre-opened tufts are further separated and cleaned between the teeth of
the cylinder and the hooks of the card flats.
• The doffer (9) takes over the material from the cylinder. The doffer device (8) transports
the web to the cross apron (7), where it is combined.
• The disk rollers (9) pull the combined web through a sliver funnel.
• Downstream from the disk rollers (9) the final, formed fiber sliver is placed in cans via
the coiler.

A defined force (320 N) presses the top rollers (1) (2) (3) mechanically onto the drafting system
cylinders (4) (5) (6). The fibers are consequently clamped between the respective pair of rollers.
Since the rotational speed increases in the direction of the material flow, from roller pair to roller
pair, the fiber masses are pulled apart, i.e., the fibers are drafted.
Option: Coiler SB
The special grooving of the drafting system cylinders brings about the following effects:
● Low-noise operation
● Stabilization of the drafting system
● Protection of the top roller cots
The feed cylinder (4) and the middle cylinder (5) have diameters of 30 mm and groove
lengths of 170 mm.
The front cylinder (6) has a diameter of 40 mm and a groove length of 190 mm. The
back cylinder (4) and middle cylinder (5) are driven by the controlled front speed of the
differential.
The main drive keeps the speed of the front cylinder (6) constant and guarantees that
the production can be calculated precisely.
Page 5
The pressure rod (8) improves the guidance of short fibres into the main draft zone.
Springs on the right-hand and left-hand weighting elements (21) put the drafting system
under mechanical load.
The weighting arm (20) on the drafting system is locked (15) pneumatically with catches.
To transport and draw the fiber material in the drafting system, the drafting system must
be subjected to load.
In this process, the top rollers (1...3) are pressed onto the drafting system cylinders
(4...6) on each side with 320 N.
On the drafting system top roller, the value of the load is 160 N on each side.
These fixed values cannot be changed.

« Levelling intensity: »
The levelling intensity corrects levelling errors of under-levelling or over-levelling. To do this,
however, the basics must be worked out in a sliver test. The detailed description of this test is
provided in the RSB module operating manual.
● Over-levelling -> reduce intensity
● Under-levelling = increase intensity
Example:
● Sliver -15%: A% = - 0.600% = under-levelling
● Sliver -15%: A% = - 0.600% = under-levelling
If A% for sliver -15% deviates significantly from sliver +15%, then the average of the two values
must be formed for the change in the leveller intensity.
Average value of the two results: 0.400%
Change: Increase leveller intensity by 0.400%.
Guidelines for the settings: Carded cotton: 50 - 80% cotton / man-made fiber: 30 - 65% man-
made fiber: 0 – 20

Note
The V draft (total draft) determines the sliver weight at the delivery end.
Whenever the sliver weight at the delivery end is altered, for example, the V draft (total draft)
must be re-determined. To this end, the theoretical V draft (total draft) must first be calculated,
based on the customer specifications.
2. The change gears required for the desired draft V (total draft) are specified in the table.

Card flats:
Explanation of the adjustment values of the card flats
The following parameters are the determining factors for the carding gap adjustment:
Example X
The cylinder speed X is high but the production X1 is low.
In this situation the card flats must be adjusted for the high cylinder speed (X).
Page 49
Example Y
The cylinder speed Y is low but the production Y1 is high.
In this situation the card flats must be adjusted for the high production (Y1).
Note
During the run-in phase the same quality cannot be achieved that is achieved with the definitive
setting.
• After the run-in phase the card flats are levelled.
• Level card flats on the machine. (☞ Part 4, Page 79 manual)
• The card flats cannot be definitively adjusted until after levelling.

Rectifying faults
A distinction is made between the following types of events:
Non-displayed fault: A person rather than the system determines that something is not correct.
Fault detected by system: The system detects a fault and displays a corresponding fault
message.
Non-displayed faults
1. At the feed
Excessive contamination
Check extraction system.
Ends down B7
Option: Coiler
Option: Coiler
This fault is displayed when the problem occurs during draw-in. Only the feed and the doffer are
stopped. The cylinder continues to run.
Page 104
Page 105
Production and drives, card flats and card flat cleaning are stopped. The cylinder continues to
run.
Maintenance
Clothing maintenance
The service life of the cylinder clothing cannot be precisely defined. It is highly dependent on the
processed material, the quality requirement and the maintenance. The service life of the doffer
clothing can be extended beyond that of the cylinder clothing. As a rule, the doffer is only
ground when it loses the web or if faults are observed at fibre transfer. If there are fibres with
special treatment, the service life of the carding elements is reduced.
Page 121
Nep stairway
In addition to the guideline provided by the clothing manufacturer, the nep stairway is an aid for
finding the right grinding interval.
The nep count that is authoritative for regrinding should be under the maximum value that is
accepted by the spinning mill. The grinding interval should never be triggered by one counting!
The optimal grinding interval must be determined by multiple countings extending over a longer
period of time.
Particularly with small neps, the number of neps found in the card sliver do not always carry
through to the yarn. It is thus necessary to include the neps in the yarn in an evaluation.The nep
countings in the sliver must always be executed according to the same method. This is the only
way that values from multiple countings can be compared. Counting by hand, as well as visual
measurement on the web are not suitable, because the results are influenced by the person and
the person's condition.
