摘要： An apparatus and method for restoring moisture to lint cotton in a cotton gin. The moisture level of lint cotton passing from a battery condenser to a bale press, and the rate of lint cotton passing from the battery condenser to the bale press are measured, and, based on those measurements and the desired moisture level of the lint cotton at the bale press, a precise amount of water is sprayed onto the lint cotton as it passes from the battery condenser to the bale press to bring the moisture level of the lint cotton at the bale press to that desired level.

摘要： The object of the invention is to facilitate the entry of a fiber band into a drawing machine. The invention is comprised of a fiber band insertion apparatus having a combination condenser and guide device with a longitudinal slot extending over its entire length. The guide device is followed by roll pair, which, at least during the laying in of the fiber band, has an accessible entry opening. This opening is at least partially formed by a recess in at least one of the opposed sides of the roll pair. The recess is separated by a flange on one of the circumferential rim surfaces which are mutually profiled to provide space for a compression line for the fiber band. The entry opening of the roll pair and/or feeders, as well as the entry slot of the condenser are, essentially, arranged in a common plane. With the aid of the invented apparatus, the fiber band is laid into the band entry device by a movement transverse to the normal transport direction of the fiber band when the drawing machine is running.

摘要： A method and apparatus for conditioning a fibrous material. The conditioning arrangement includes a moisturizing chamber having two series of opposed rollers arranged to accept a fiber batt into a pressing space therebetween. The pressing space tapers from a batt entrance toward a batt exit. This tapered configuration is affected for compressing a fiber batt as it is rolled therethrough. As illustrated, before entering the conditioner, the cotton batt has a greater thickness than after compaction and processing through the moisturizing chamber. A moisture infusion assembly is provided within the moisturizing chamber and has an air distributor configured to dispense moisture laden air adjacent to a fiber batt being processed through the pressing space. An air collector is configured to pull exhaust air away from the fiber batt being processed through the pressing space. The moisturizing chamber is configured to confine and circulate dispensed moisture laden air through the fiber batt being processed through the pressing space for optimizing a finished moisture content thereof.

摘要： Method and apparatus for the collection of samples of staple fibers from a quantity (batch) of such fibers without material consideration of the “condition” of the fibers within the batch, (e.g., the relative humidity and/or temperature of the environment immediate the batch of fibers), and thereafter physically converting each sample of fibers to a tapered beard geometry, employing a rotary carrier. Each beard is grasped at one end thereof with the fibers thereof extending unsupported therefrom. The beard is conveyed to a location proximate the entrance to an air flow channel whereupon conditioned air flowing into the flow channel moves along, over and past the beard, causing the free ends of the fibers to enter the flow channel and become aligned generally along the length of the flow channel. Continued flow of conditioned air into and through the flow channel, hence in a direction generally parallel to the length of the fibers which make up the beard, ultra-rapidly conditions only the fibers of the beard. Air flow rates may reach hundreds or even thousands of ft/sec velocity within the flow channel and conditioning of the fibers may be accomplished within a matter of seconds. Withdrawal of the beard from the flow channel is sensed as a part of length testing of the fibers of the beard. Other test modules may be employed.

摘要： A wool or the like fiber scour including at least one of the following, (a) scouring process wherein the fiber is subjected to an acid extraction process to remove absorbed iron, and by to greatly improve the brightness (Y tristimulus value) of the wool; (b) a scouring process wherein a bleaching process is carried out part way through the wet process following by dying, rewriting and chemical reduction, therefore stabilising the bleached color to prevent subsequent reversion in the dyebath; or (c) a scouring process wherein scoured clean fiber is dried and dusted, and then reimmersed in liquors containing detergents and dispersants, thereby effectively removing extra amounts of residual dirt. The scour produces an improved quality of fibres.
