Method of automatically taking in a fibre layer in blow-room machines and apparatus for implementing the method

摘要

A method and apparatus for taking-in a fibre layer in blow-room machines wherein the fibre layer is pressed by a number of pivotable pedal levers distributed across the width of the machine, and loaded by a pressing device, against a take-in roll. In the absence of fibre material between the take-in roll and the pedal levers, the pedal levers are temporarily lifted-off the take-in roll.
