The invention relates to a device and a method for controlling the fiber feed to a carding machine having a filling shaft. The filling shaft is divided into an upper shaft and a lower shaft, wherein fiber flocks are fed into the upper shaft and are transported into the lower shaft (5) by means of a feeding device (19). The fiber flocks are compressed into wadding having a certain wadding weight in the lower shaft under a certain pressure. A target value for the wadding weight is predefined, with which target value a pressure for the lower shaft is associated. Then an actual value of the wadding weight is determined and the target value for the pressure is corrected on the basis of a comparison of the target value and actual value of the wadding weight. |
