Apparatus for the fibre-sorting or fibre-selection of a fibre bundle comprising textile fibres, especially for combing

An apparatus for the fibre-sorting or fibre-selection of a fibre bundle comprising textile fibres, the apparatus comprising:

• a fibre-sorting device comprising at least a first roller and a second roller that rotate rapidly without interruption during use, at lease one of the first roller and the second roller having clamping devices distributed about its periphery, the clamping devices adapted to clamp the fibre bundle;
• a supply device adapted to supply the fibre bundle to the fibre-sorting device;
• at least one mechanical combing device that generates a combing action in order to loosen and remove non-clamped constituents from the fibre bundle;
• a take off device adapted to remove combed fibre material from the fibre-sorting device, the take off device comprising a sliver-forming element that forms a combed sliver;
• a drafting device;
• at least one conveyor element arranged downstream of said sliver-forming element, the conveyor element comprising a driven conveyor belt adapted to convey the combed sliver to said drafting device;
• and
• a sliver-expanding device arranged between the conveyor belt and the drafting system, wherein the sliver-expanding device is adapted to expand the fibre sliver in width to a narrow fibre web.
