Textile Engineering

1. Working principle of CL-P: In this zone, basic function is to open the fiber
tuft to smaller size and to clean the tuft removing big sizeof trash but smaller size
of impurities whicharetrapped between fibersis notremoved here. Gentlebeating
action but no picking is performed here.
The system comprises two rotating beaters with rods or flexible pins projecting
from its surfaceand a series of grid bars positioned below the beater. The system
is used as a first cleaning stage for cotton tufts with high trash content and
therefore receives tufts from the automatic bale opener.
The large tufts which cannot get lost through the grid system, follow a spiralpath
around the beater to the outlet and make contact with the projections (pins) on
the rotating beater surfaceseveraltimes. The tufts arethen struck againstthe grid
bars to eject coarse trash particles.
Technical data:
Diameter of beater: 700~800 mm
Speed of beater: 400~800 rpm
Grid bar setting: 2.5~3.5 mm
