The influence of the average residence time of the fiber in the set of the main drum and the flats of the carding machine on the carding degree

Abstract

The article presents the results of calculating the average residence time of the fiber in the flat set of the main carding zone for carding machines TS-03 (Trutzschler) and C60 (Rieter). The fiber carding degree in the “drum-flat” zone was studied. The carding degree by the teeth of the main drum of free fibers held by the needles of the flats and the carding degree by the needles of the flats of free fibers held by the teeth of the main drum were determined. The total carding degree in the “drum-flat” zone of the carding machine was calculated.
