CORMATEX

description

The longstanding tradition and experience in the textile sector, combined with the use of advanced design and construction techniques, have led to the development of highly flexible carding sets, capable to process any natural or synthetic fibre, either virgin or regenerated, to maximising the quantity and quality performance of the machine. Cormatex technology guarantees the formation of a very homogeneous web with perfectly parallel fibres, i.e. the prerequisite for high efficiency and output of the following spinning phase.

technical data

Working width: 1000 to 3500 mm
Breast roller diameter: 650, 940, 1270, 1500 mm
Main cylinder diameter: 1270, 1500, 1800, 2000 mm
Doffer diameter: 1270 and 1500 mm
Working roller diameter: 210 to 240 mm
Stripping roller diameter: 80 to 102 mm
Fancy roller diameter: 300 mm

All the cylinder, doffer and rollers of the carding set are statically and dynamically balanced.

details

parallel lapper model AFP50 (patented)

The AFP50 model is a CORMATEX exclusive patent. The parallel fibre lapper compacts the webs into a homogenous layer of longitudinally-oriented fibres. This system guarantees a more uniform web, evener fibre counts across the whole machine width, a 15-20% efficiency increase and a remarkably higher yarn quality (extra-fine knitwear yarns, up to Nm 60).

web transfer belt conveyor

Web transporting system installed between the third and the fourth cylinder of the carding set; it makes the inspection of the web quality possible by the operator, as well as simplifying the cleaning of the two carding units (3rd and 4th cylinders) with no need to displace them, thus saving working time by leaving the roller set-up unchanged and making unnecessary workers and strippers re-gauging by the machine operator.

single-tape tape condenser

Guarantees a constant tape tension across the whole width of the machine, as well as a uniform and even condensed count across the whole width of the Tape Condenser.

Other tapes arrangement: a) 1 tape – 1 end; b) 1 tape – 2 ends

lateral protections for working and stripping rollers

Hermetically sealed top covers to prevent the air exiting from the carding group sides. This system protects the fibres being processed against air turbulence, as the air is discharged from the bottom side of the machine where the fibre are not in working process. The webs are more homogenous and constant because the unwanted negative effects of finer fibres migration towards the machine sides are totally eliminated.

working and stripping rollers special support

The machine has been designed for optimised performance; most vibrations are discharged towards the base, with no effects on the adjustment of the roll supports (thanks to a patented shockproof system mounted on all the rolls). As a result the noise will be significantly reduced and the fibres more parallelised.
