Fiber separator for feeding a freed-fiber spinning unit

摘要

The device for separating individual fibers of a fiber sliver comprises sliver feed rollers, sliver opening means comprising a press roller and a separating roller adapted to carry a stack of thin disks provided with combing elements which consist of teeth or wire points for separating the fibers and with drafting elements for parallelizing the fibers, and a duct for the delivery of freed fibers. The separator can be employed for spinning slivers containing either long or short fibers or a mixture of both.
