Abstract
A device for compacting fiber flocks into a flock mat has means for supplying the fiber flocks, a discharge belt for carrying the compacted flock mat away, and walls, which are arranged opposite each other between the means for supplying the fiber flocks and the discharge belt and thus form the boundaries of an essentially vertical chute feed, which defines the transport direction of the fiber flocks. At least one of the walls is supported in such a way that its movement during each cycle has a component in the transport direction of the fiber flocks and a component in the direction transverse to the transport direction.
Claims11
A device for compacting fiber flocks to form a flock mat, comprising:
- means for supplying the fiber flocks;
- a discharge belt for carrying away the compacted flock mat;
- and
- two walls, which are arranged opposite each other between the means for supplying the fiber flocks and the discharge belt and thus form the boundaries of an essentially vertical chute feed, which defines a transport direction of the fiber flocks,
- wherein at least one of the walls is movable in cycles, and wherein at least one of the walls is supported in such a way that the movement which it executes during each cycle comprises a component transverse to the transport direction of the fiber flocks in combination with a component in the transport direction of the fiber flocks to compact the fiber flocks vertically.
