Device for increasing the specific weight of fiber material in a carding machine

摘要

A carding machine includes a main carding cylinder and a doffer to which fiber material is transferred from the main carding cylinder and a fiber removing device positioned downstream of the doffer as viewed in an advancing direction of the fiber material through the carding machine. A gathering device including at least one gathering roll is disposed downstream of the doffer for effecting a negative draft on the fiber material between the doffer and the gathering roll.
