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.

Drafting system in the coiler:

Option: Coiler SB

Draft zones

o V Total draft
o VV Break draft
o HV Main draft

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.

Drafting system cylinders:

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.

Drafting system load:


Option: Coiler SB

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.

Yes: Automatic adjustment must be activated while the machine is running. The momentary
clearance of the scanning rollers (capstan wheels) is measured over a specific length and the
reference value for the A% monitoring is saved (scanning roller clearance 0%) The LED display
(+/- 5%) is automatically brought 0% into the range by over this measured clearance. The
exiting sliver and the display by the green LED (0% range) are again harmonized with each
other. The matching must be done only when it has been ensured that the actual sliver weight is
in the greatest possible agreement with the desired sliver weight. This matching is required only
when: Assortment change, target value correction of the sliver weight, change of the delivery
rate, change of the sliver guiding parts (sliver funnel, card web nozzle, spring force)

min. (max.: 0.55 - 0.63)
« Autom. adapt sliver weight: »
The current clearance of the feeler rolls is measured over a certain sliver length and is stored as
nominal spacing. (Scanning roller clearance 0% - error = scanning roller clearance at 0%
deviation. The servomotor stops).
The continuously derived mean that deviates from the original nominal spacing (0% error) is
stored as the new nominal spacing during an adjustment. As a result, the display for the
Autoleveller is back within the green LED range. Switch off the Autoleveller during automatic
adjustment. When the machine is in normal production, wait until the actual value of the sliver
weight of the card (data screen 11.1, value in the display, right) has reached the setpoint (data
screen 10.1). This adjustment is normally necessary only if there is a change in the assortment
or a large change in nominal value of the sliver weight. The spacing of the scan rollers (1.40 to
2.60 mm) must be within the possible setting range of the adaptation. Possibly Repeat the
adjustment or use the appropriate scanning rollers for the card sliver. See operating manual for
the RSB module.

« Sorted sliver weight: »


The module Autoleveller must be switched on during the test delivery run. On inputting the
measured sliver weight, the Autoleveller is corrected to the extent that subsequently the nominal
weight is again produced. Repeat the procedure if the actual weight does not equal the nominal
weight. Commissioning (Autoleveller RSB not yet adjusted): In this data screen during
commissioning, the sliver is harmonized after the drafting system.

« Feeler roll clearance 0%: »


The scanning roller clearance can be altered using the PLUS or MINUS buttons. However, this
option should only be used in the event of a software update. Before making a software change,
the values displayed must be noted so that, after the update they can be input again for each
machine and production value group.

« Levelling action point: »


The levelling action point of the module depends on the delivery speed of the card. When a
change is made to the nominal delivery speed of the card, the levelling action point is also
altered. It has to be determined again.

« Adaptation sliver weight to slow speed: »


Adjustment at slow speed. The measuring error between the speed at can change and the
normal delivery speed is corrected. The setting depends on the material properties, the feed
speed and the loading on the scanning rollers. First select and input a standard setting. Finally,
determine the sliver weight and alter it correspondingly in the data screen.
Page 16

Determine the sliver weight (5 x 10 m):


1. Extraction: At the normal delivery speed of the module.
2. Extraction: At the delivery speed during can change. The set delivery speed during the can
change (data screen 42.3) must be entered for the removal in data screen 10.1.
Calculation: Sliver weight at can change x 100 divided by sliver weight at delivery speed with
100 subtracted. Based on the sliver weight determined, carry out the adjustment over the
percentile. A difference of 1% between the two sliver weights corresponds approximately to a
change of 20% of the adjusted weight in the data screen. Change value: Sliver weight at can
change heavier = increase value. Sliver weight at can change lighter = reduce value. The
adjustment can be set in steps of 5%.

« 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%.

Percentage value 0 – 100 %

« Calibrate levelling intensity: »


The calibration of the levelling intensity can be switched on or off.

« Sliver weight card: »


For carrying out the sliver test for setting the control intensity in the data screen, the sliver
weight of the card can be changed by up to a maximum of +20% or -20%. The sliver weight
must not exceed its limit value. (Error message) The delivery speed of the card is not affected
by this activity.

« Sliver length disk rolls and feeler roll RSB: »


The card sliver must be positioned between the two elements in such a manner that the
displayed value is 2150 (display in data screen 82.2). Then measure the drawn sliver length and
enter it in the data screen.

Calculating draft V (total draft)

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.

Example for calculating the theoretical V draft (total draft)


1. Calculate the draft and then see the table for
the change gears. (☞ Page 14 Manual)
Sliver weight at the feed end 12 ktex
Sliver weight at the delivery end 5 ktex

V = 12.0 (ktex) = 2.4


5.0 (ktex)

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:

• Cylinder speed (rpm)


• Production (kg/h)

Which parameter is authoritative?


Rule
The parameter that results in a larger card gap is always authoritative.

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).

Determining the carding gap


1. Select the suitable diagram.
100% CO / CO% > MMF% / fine rotor yarns, coarse and fine ring-spun yarns (☞ Page 82)
100% CO / CO% > MMF% / coarse rotor yarns (☞ Page 83 manual)
Combed or carded cotton / fine yarns (card flats default) (☞ Page 84 manual)
Combed cotton / extremely fine yarns (card flats EF) (☞ Page 85 manual)
100% MMF / MMF% > CO% (☞ Page 86 manual)
2. Read out the settings for the five measuring points from the diagram.
3. Identify, if the flat clothings are used or mounted new.

The card flats are used.


• Then the definitive settings can be made in accordance with the diagrams.
• The definitive settings should be optimized through trials, to achieve the optimal balance
between productivity and quality.

The card flats are mounted new.


• The carding gap must be further adjusted during the run-in phase.
Enlarged carding gap during the run-in phase of new card flat clothings
Duration of the run-in phase: 15 – 20 t 0.05 – 0.10 mm

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.

4. Note the determined adjustment values on the adjustment sheet.

• The card flat settings are determined

100% CO / CO% > MMF% / fine rotor yarns, coarse and fine ring-spun yarns:

100% CO / CO% > MMF% / coarse rotor yarns:


Page 51

100% CO / CO% > MMF% / coarse rotor yarns:

Combed or carded cotton / fine yarns (card flats default):


Page 52

Combed cotton / extremely fine yarns (card flats EF):

100% MMF / MMF% > CO%:

100% MMF = 100% man-made fibers


MMF% > CO% = blend in which the man-made fiber content is greater than the cotton content
Page 53

Entering the flat speed

1. Read off the speed of the card flats based on the material and the production from the
diagram. (☞ Page 81 manual)
2. In data screen 10.1, in line « Flats speed: » enter the speed.

Card flat speed 0.20 – 0.40 m/min


• The speed is matched to the material.

Caution:

AEROfeed (material feed):


Adjusting the air ratios in a card line
The suction unit (8) and the fan (9) must be adjusted in such a manner that the
air ratios equal the specified values to the extent possible.

Default values of the air ratios in a card line.

• The air ratios setting influences the running behavior of the entire card line.

Ideal settings for operation of the feed machine


❖ Runtime should be 90% and the standstill time should be 10% of operating time.
Page 55

Acceleration sliders and isolation sliders:


Acceleration slider
The acceleration sliders (2) are used to accelerate the transport air in the feed system. If the
cross section in the feed channel is reduced, the air speed increases. The material is more
effectively conveyed to the more remote card chutes.

The purpose of the acceleration sliders is to achieve a uniform distribution of the material on all
card chutes.
Page 56

Adjusting the vacuum for the exhaust air (open transfer):


Conditions
✓ The filter installation must accept as exhaust air the transport air as blown into the feeder
system from the transport fan. Variations in the suction power in this filter installation are evened
out by the open transfer of the transport air.

Service life for the clothing’s with man-made fibres


Guideline of the clothing manufacturer Graf

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.

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.
