Textile fiber distribution ramp for fiber batt forming apparatus

摘要

Batt forming apparatus (12) is disclosed having a reserve chute (36) and batt formation chute (76). A fiber entrance duct (40) includes a bottom floor (44) with a stationary floor (48) and a movable floor ramp (50). Ramp (50) may be adjustably inclined to incoming airflow to project fibers in trajectories further across reserve chute (36). This control of fiber distribution may be used to assist in the production of a fiber batt (78) having a homogeneous density structure.
