Flats (Revolving Flats)

Movement of Flats
 The bars of the flats mesh individually with the recesses in a
sprocket gear and are carried along by rotation of the
sprocket. The ends of the bars of operative flats slide over a
continuous bend with metal-to-metal friction.
As the flats move at a very low speed compared with that of
the cylinder, so the flats can be moved forward or backward,
i.e. in the same direction as or in opposition to the cylinder.
 If the flats move with the cylinder (forward), the cylinder
assists in driving the flats and removal of strippings is easier.
Forward movement therefore gives design advantages.
On the other hand, reverse movement (against the cylinder)
brings technological advantages. *At this stage, the flats are in
a clean condition. **

Flats (Revolving Flats)

A diagram by Rieter demonstrate clearly that the greater part of the dirt is flung
into the first flats directly above the licker-in. Rieter and Trützschler offer cards
with backward movement of the flats.

Karde – Deckel
• Einstellung der Karde hohe Bedeutung für Qualität
• entscheidender Einstellpunkt ist Abstand Deckel zur Trommel
• zu eng -> erhöhter Garniturverschleiß -> hohe Kosten
• zu weit -> hohe Nissenwerte im Band, Fasereinkürzung, keine gute

Carding Plates instead of Flats

 Stationary carding plates were used for a short time as
carding elements in place of traveling flats.*
 The plates were in the form of curved plates of aluminum,
provided with special steel wire clothing on their internal
surfaces. The plates were adjustable and replaceable. **
This system has some advantages but also very serious
disadvantages. It is therefore no longer available.

Carding Positions in Front of Flats

 The remaining impurities and dust in the material on
the cylinder can be removed only by total opening of the raw
material, i.e. absolute separation of the fibers.
This degree of opening is achieved practically only once in
the spinning process, namely on the card cylinder.
The slotted grid beneath the cylinder which were used
formerly is not suited to this purpose. Mote knives are better .
For several years now, the manufacturers of cards have
used assemblies better suited to this purpose, e.g. the Rieter
company’s TREX system. Beneath the flats cover is a mote
knife, set close to the cylinder; this knife is associated with
a suction tube. Foreign matter stripped from the cylinder
surface passes into the tube and is carried away.*

The Doffer
 The cylinder is followed by the doffer, which is designed to
take the individual fibers from the cylinder and condense
them to a web.
 The doffer is mostly formed as a cast iron (or steel) drum
with a diameter of about 600 - 707 mm. (680 mm on Rieter
machines) .
 It is fitted with metallic and runs at speeds up to about
300 m/min.
The Doffing Operation
It would appear logical to arrange the clothing of the
cylinder and doffer in the doffing configuration relative to
each other. In practice, however, they are actually arranged in
the carding configuration.*
 This clothing arrangement has some merits and demerits.

The Doffing Operation

 One disadvantage is that the
desired fiber parallelization
achieved on the main cylinder
largely disappears again, since
a degree of random orientation is
necessary to form and doff a web
Another is the undesirable
bending of the fiber ends which
occurs here.*
 Third disadvantage, poor
efficiency of fiber transfer from
the cylinder to doffer, is actually Clothing configuration between
main cylinder and doffer; from
an advantage than drawback.** 0.18 to 0.08 mm results 100%
improvement in transfer factor.
