This is a manufacturing machine of yarn. This machine name is Carding Machine.

2. Functions of Carding Machine
• To individualise the fibres.
• To remove impurities.
• To clean cotton thoroughly off the lighter dirt &
trash as well as to remove a certain proportion of
neps & short fibers from the opened material.
• To convert Blow Room lap/ Chute feed sheet into the
loose, roughly parallel, untwisted strand fibres called
‘sliver’.
• To Mixing & Blending the fiber.
• To elimination of dust.

5. Different Zones of Carding Machine
Chute feed/ Lap
The feed material for carding is in the form of Blow
Room lap or by direct Chute feed system, In chute feed
system the small tufts of fibres (sheet form) fed directly
from blow room to a series of cards, arranged in a
circuit through pneumatic pipe.

6. Feed roller & Licker-in
The roller that receives fibres from the feed roll(s) is
called the licker-in. This is a cast roller with a diameter
usually of around 250 mm. In high-performance cards,
rotation speeds are in the range of 800 - 2 000 rpm for
cotton and about 600 rpm for synthetics.

7. Cylinder & Flats
The main work of the card is to individualise fibers which
is performed between the main cylinder and the flats.
The cylinder is usually manufactured from cast iron, but
is now sometimes made of steel. Most cylinders have
a diameter of 1 280 - 1 300 mm (Rieter C 60 card 814
mm, speed up to 900 rpm) and rotate at speeds between
250 and 500 (to 600) rpm.

8. Doffer
Fibres from cylinder are transferred to doffer. The doffer is
mostly formed as a cast iron (or steel) drum with
a diameter of about 600 - 707 mm. (680 mm on Rieter
machines) . It is fitted with metallic clothing and runs at
speeds up to about 300 m/min.

9. Condensation of web & Trumpet
The fibre web is stripped from the doffer using a stripper
roller. It is then passed through a pair of squeeze or crush
rolls before it is finally accumulated width wise into a fibre
strand form (Card Web). The fibre strand (the card sliver)
proceeds upward over guide pulleys to enter the coiler
system.

10. Sliver & Carding can
The rotary movements are required for cycloidal coiling
of the sliver. On one hand, the rotatable plate must be
rotated above the can, while the can itself must rotate,
at a considerably slower rate, below the plate.

11. Display Panel
It displays various operating machine parameters like
speed, production etc. Understand the details in the
display panel and work accordingly

12. Operating Carding Machine
• A carding operator should be able to operate the
carding machine, ensure proper feeding of material in
chute/lap feed system
• Start the machine as per instructions given by shift
supervisor.
• Check that the card web is properly condensed and
sliver is delivered.
• Check the proper functioning of card by verifying the
control panel.
• Check the availability of empty sliver cans.
