Abstract: In a nonwoven card for the production of nonwoven fabric of fiber material, with a drawing-in means (2,4), a licker-in (6), a main cylinder (16), and at least one fiber doffer means (18) engaged with the main cylinder (16), for doffing a card web, the drawing-in means (2,4) transferring the fiber material to the licker-in (6) and a transfer means (8) transferring the fiber material at least double from the licker-in (6) to the main cylinder (16) via rollers (10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 12, 12a, 12b, 14), it is provided that at least one of the rollers (10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 12, 12a, 12b, 14) of the transfer means (8) is a random roller (10, 10a, 10b, 10c) rotating in the same direction as the main cylinder (16) and the licker-in (6).

Abstract: In an intermediate card for manufacturing nonwovens of fibrous material, with a drawing-in means (2), with at least one main cylinder (4), and with several fiber take-off means (6a, 6b, 6c) for taking over at least two card webs from the main cylinder (4), the at least two card webs being adapted to be deposited as a nonwoven onto a common conveying belt of a conveying means, it is provided that each fiber take-off means (6a, 6b, 6c) transfers the taken-off card webs onto transfer sections (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) circumferentially offset with respect to each other and forming part of a permeable conveying surface (15) curved in a circularly cylindrical manner, the circumferential speed of which is adapted to the transfer speed of the card webs at the transfer sections (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) as to direction and amount, the transfer sections of the conveying surface (15) being sucked.

Abstract: In the case of a plant for transporting textile fabrics (1), with at least one permeable and suctioned conveyor belt (4) for the transport of a textile fabric (1) delivered by a textile machine onto the conveyor belt (4) at a delivery point (5), it is provided that on the side of the conveyor belt (4) facing away from the textile fabric (1), several air guiding means (6) extending transversely to the conveyor belt (4) are arranged, said air guiding means deflecting the air entrained by the conveyor belt (4) on the side facing away from the textile fabric (1).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a web of non-woven fibrous material which is cross-linked in the carding step by means of an intermediate card. There is a main cylinder with two web forming rollers engaging the main cylinder, each taking off one card web. One of the web forming rollers is a random roller for producing a random orientation of the card web. The random roller has associated with it a trough plate with a space between the roller and plate. The space tapers toward the discharge end resulting in stuffing or compression on the web until the web exits to a free non-woven forming zone. Two card webs form a single web, which is taken off the card.

Abstract: A card apparatus for producing an aerodynamically formed fibrous web (4), includes a fiber feed means (6), a main cylinder (8) rotating at high speed and a shaft (10) arranged at main cylinder (8), the shaft transporting thrown-off fibers in an airflow (12) to an air-permeable web transport means (14) and disposing said fibers on said web transport means (14) in the form of a fibrous web (4). In this apparatus the main cylinder (8) throws off said fibers at a first location (22) of shaft (10) onto a second cylinder (20) rotating at high speed in opposite sense to main cylinder (8) and generating a random orientation of said fibers on cylinder (20), and the second cylinder (20) throws off said fibers into airflow (12) at a second location (24) of shaft (10).

Abstract: An apparatus for producing fiber material or the like with a prescribable feed weight comprises a conveyor for delivering the fiber flock to a filling stack, which includes a vibrating wall extending in a vertical direction and a displaceable wall, a stationary delivery roller being arranged in a discharge region of the filling stack and a displaceable delivery roller being arranged opposite the stationary roller in the discharge region for controlling the thickness of the layer being deposited on a conveyor. The apparatus also includes a pressure sensor which is provided between the two delivery rollers, which pressure sensor provides signals for controlling the displacement of the displaceable delivery roller, the vibratory frequency for the vibrating wall of the stack and the displacement of the movable wall.

Abstract: An apparatus for introducing a relatively loose pile fed from a carder or the like via a conveyor belt or the like into a following roller system, particularly a calender, upon height-reduction of the pile before entry into the roller system, is provided comprising a pile guiding fixture preceding the roller system for compressing the pile while pressing the pile against the conveyor belt.
