Optimisation of Selected Components of a Roller Carding Machine in the Aspect of Improving their Cooperation Quality

摘要

The quality of web produced by a carding machine is largely influenced by the shape and height of the gaps between card clothings of workers and the doffer cooperating with the main cylinder as well as between the doffer clothing and doffing blade. The following paper describes the methodology of selection of a structural form and basic dimensions of the carding machine shafts and cylinders taking into account the gap shape in the zones of card clothing cooperation. For the study to be complete, optimisation of the blade and comb shaft cross-sections was also performed. The benefit from optimisation of the carding machine components is the improvement in the quality of the web - the final product of carding.
