Abstract
The feed device for delivering individualized fibers to a transport device comprises a feed roller, which is configured to draw in a plurality of strands of starting material arranged adjacent to each other, and an opening roller, which cooperates with the feed roller to open the strands of starting material. The feed device also comprises a plurality of metering devices assigned to the feed roller, wherein each metering device is configured to regulate the delivery of at least one strand of starting material to the feed roller.
Claims9
A feed device for delivering individualized fibers to a transport device, the feed device comprising:
- a feed roller configured to draw in a plurality of strands of a starting material consisting of fibers, the strands being arranged adjacent to each other in an axial direction of the feed roller, into the feed device;
- and
- an opening roller, which cooperates with the feed roller to open the strands of starting material;
- wherein the feed device comprises a plurality of metering devices assigned to the feed roller, wherein each metering device of the plurality of metering devices is configured to regulate delivery of at least one strand of starting material to the feed roller,
- wherein each metering device of the plurality of metering devices comprises a metering element, which is actively movable between a first position and a second position;
- wherein the metering element, when in the first position, is configured to allow the delivery of the at least one strand of starting material to the feed roller;
- and
- wherein the metering element, when in the second position, is configured to inhibit or to stop the delivery of the at least one strand of starting material to the feed roller.
A fleece-forming machine for forming or profiling a material web, comprising:
- a transport device for conveying the material web in a transport direction;
- and
- at least one feed device for delivering individualized fibers to the transport device, wherein the at least one feed device comprises:
- a feed roller configured to draw in a plurality of strands of a starting material consisting of fibers, the strands being arranged adjacent to each other in an axial direction of the feed roller, into the feed device;
- and
- an opening roller, which cooperates with the feed roller to open the strands of starting material;
- wherein the feed device comprises a plurality of metering devices assigned to the feed roller, wherein each metering device of the plurality of metering devices is configured to regulate delivery of at least one strand of starting material to the feed rollers;
- wherein each metering device of the plurality of metering devices comprises a metering element, which is actively movable between a first position and a second position;
- wherein the metering element, when in the first position, is configured to allow the delivery of the at least one strand of starting material to the feed roller;
- and
- wherein the metering element, when in the second position, is configured to inhibit or to stop the delivery of the at least one strand of starting material to the feed roller.
