Abstract: A pressure control system is provided for use with a carding machine having a carding cylinder with clothing. The pressure control system has a cover for positioning opposite the carding cylinder clothing, an opening in the cover for separating foreign particles from desirable fibers, and a replaceable pressure regulator mounted in the cover. The pressure regulator is for adjusting a pressure between the cover and the carding cylinder.

Abstract: A method of directly determining setting values for an application point of regulation in a draw unit for drafting sliver includes the following steps: Obtaining at least three measured values of a quality-characterizing magnitude, such as the CV value, of the drafted sliver; utilizing the measured values for formulating a function having a minimum constituting an optimal application point of regulation for controlling the draw unit; determining the optimal application point of regulation in a pre-operational run of the draw unit; and numerically computing a function between the quality-characterizing magnitudes and application points of regulation from the measured values.

The function has a minimum corresponding to an optimal application point of regulation Ropt.
