Process for the deposit of a fiber sliver end on a flat can

A process for depositing an end of a fiber sliver on a flat can, the flat can having an upper can rim and end walls, comprising:

• conveying a fiber sliver by a pair of calendar rollers through a sliver guiding channel and an outlet of a rotary plate into a flat can being traversed with a traversing device in a back and forth traversing movement below the rotary plate outlet, the flat can having end walls and an upper rim;
• braking the traversing movement of the flat can to a stopped position and stopping delivery of the fiber sliver into the flat can at the stopped position including stopping rotation of the rotary plate;
• controlling and coordinating braking of the flat can and stopping rotation of the rotary plate so that the rotary plate outlet is positioned at a defined predetermined position with respect to a longitudinal axis of the rim of the flat can;
• severing the fiber sliver between the pair of calendar rollers and the sliver guiding channel at the stopped position of the flat can;
• and
• displacing the flat can from the stopped position to a transfer position causing the severed fiber sliver to be pulled out of the fiber sliver guiding channel and deposited at a predetermined position and with a predetermined length over the upper can rim and onto an end wall of the flat can.
