Waste Collector Patents (Class 19/115B)
  • Method for collecting lap pieces from a combing machine
    Patent number: 5515578
    Abstract: In addition to removing noil from a combing machine, the lap pieces which occur during a lap change operation are suctioned off and recycled into the combing process so as to reduce the amount of waste generated by the combing process. The noil and lap pieces can be removed from the combing heads through a common suction tube and conveyed separately via connecting pipes to separate points. The lap pieces which have been separated can be transported into a drum separator with the fiber material of the lap pieces being separated and recycled for the production of new laps.
