Arrangement for loading a card

摘要

An arrangement for supplying a card by means of a feed chute to which the fiber material is supplied from above and from which it is removed below for delivery to the card. The feed chute for compressing fiber material has at its lower end air exit openings and at its upper end an arrangement delivering flowing air fiber material. The air exiting from the air exit openings is drawn in and fed again to the feed chute at its upper end. One end of an outflow channel is connected to the air exit openings and the other end to a unit delivering air to the fiber material. This unit may be capable of generating flowing air in spurts or continuously. It may be a check-valve type pump or a fan. A filter device is located in the outflow channel, and an air distribution arrangement may be placed behind the unit for delivering air.
