Abstract
A pressure control system is provided for use with a carding machine having a carding cylinder with clothing. The pressure control system has a cover for positioning opposite the carding cylinder clothing, an opening in the cover for separating foreign particles from desirable fibers, and a replaceable pressure regulator mounted in the cover. The pressure regulator is for adjusting a pressure between the cover and the carding cylinder.
Claims18
A pressure control system for use with a carding machine having a carding cylinder, the carding cylinder having clothing and a rotational direction, the pressure control system comprising:
- a cover for positioning opposite the carding cylinder clothing;
- an opening in the cover for separating foreign particles from desirable fibers;
- and
- a replaceable pressure regulator mounted in the cover and having a throttle bar, a fixed carding element with clothing, and an air flow opening, the replaceable pressure regulator being positionable in the carding machine in a plurality of different orientations,
- wherein the pressure regulator is for adjusting a pressure between the cover and the carding cylinder.
A pressure control system for use with a carding machine having a carding cylinder, the carding cylinder having clothing, the pressure control system comprising:
- a cover for positioning opposite the carding cylinder clothing;
- an opening in the cover for separating foreign particles from desirable fibers;
- a replaceable pressure regulator mounted in the cover, the pressure regulator comprising an air flow opening having an adjustable size;
- and
- means for adjusting the size of the air flow opening to a first size when the pressure between the cover and the carding cylinder is above a first predetermined pressure, and
- to a second size when the pressure between the cover and the carding cylinder is below a second predetermined pressure,
- wherein the pressure regulator is for adjusting a pressure between the cover and the carding cylinder.
A pressure control system for use with a carding machine having a carding cylinder, the carding cylinder having clothing, the pressure control system comprising:
