Method for filling a fillable portion of a garment to be padded and padded garment

A plant for filling a fillable portion of a garment or a blanket to be filled with staple cashmere fiber to obtain a filled garment, or a filled blanket, comprising:

• an opening station comprising an opening machine adapted to receive an incoming cashmere fiber mass and to provide exiting staple cashmere fiber;
• a beating station adapted to be crossed by said staple cashmere fiber, comprising a flow generator for providing an air flow adapted to cross said staple cashmere fiber, while the fiber is being beaten, to remove residual impurities and dust from said staple cashmere fiber, and inflate the staple cashmere fiber;
• a feeder for feeding said staple cashmere fiber from said carding station to said beating station;
• and
• a filling station for introducing the staple cashmere fiber into said fillable portion, a passage for feeding said staple cashmere fiber from said beating station to said filling station.

A method for filling a fillable portion of a garment or a blanket in order to obtain a filled garment, or a filled blanket, comprising the steps of:

• A) providing a cashmere fiber mass to be fed towards an opening station of an opening machine;
• B) mechanically opening and blending the cashmere fiber mass in said opening station to obtain staple cashmere fiber;
• C) feeding said staple cashmere fiber exiting from said opening station towards a beating station;
• D) cleaning said staple cashmere fiber, while beating same in said beating station, by cleaning air flow adapted to cross the staple cashmere fiber to remove residual impurities and dust from the staple cashmere fiber, and inflate the staple cashmere fiber to obtain inflated staple cashmere fiber;
• E) feeding the inflated staple cashmere fiber exiting from said beating station towards a filling station;
• and
• F) inserting the inflated staple cashmere fiber into said fillable portion so as to obtain said filled garment, in said filling station,
• wherein step D is carried out using a beating rotating drum comprising a plurality of needles and spikes arranged to penetrate the staple cashmere fiber while the staple cashmere fiber is crossed by the cleaning air flow.

A method for filling a fillable portion of a garment or a blanket to be filled in order to obtain a filled jacket, or a filled blanket, comprising the steps of:

• A) providing a cashmere fiber mass to be fed towards an opening station of an opening machine;
• B) mechanically opening and blending the cashmere fiber mass in said opening station to obtain staple cashmere fiber;
• C) feeding said staple cashmere fiber exiting from said opening station towards a beating station;
• D) cleaning said staple cashmere fiber, while beating same in said beating station, by cleaning air flow adapted to cross the staple cashmere fiber to remove residual impurities and dust from the cashmere fiber flakes, and inflate the staple cashmere fiber to obtain inflated staple cashmere fiber;
• E) feeding the inflated staple cashmere fiber exiting from said beating station towards a filling station;
• and
• F) inserting the inflated staple cashmere fiber into said fillable portion so as to obtain said filled garment, in said filling station,
• wherein step D is carried out by providing a grid interposed between the beating rotating drum and the outlet of the beating chamber, said grid being crossed by the cleaning air flow while preventing the staple cashmere fiber and the inflated staple cashmere fiber from going through the grid.

• a feeder for feeding said staple cashmere fiber from said opening station to said beating station;
• and
• a filling station for introducing the inflated staple cashmere fiber into said fillable portion, a passage for feeding said inflated staple cashmere fiber from said beating station to said filling station.
