Feeding Apparatus and Clamping Systems
topic
Material can be fed to opening rollers in free flight (gentle but less intensive) or in a clamped condition (intensive but less gentle). Clamped feed devices include two interacting clamping cylinders (best forward motion but greatest clamping distance), feed roller with feed table (small clamping distance but poor full-width clamping), and feed roller with pedals (secure clamping via individual spring-loaded sections).
Role
The feed system influences opening and cleaning primarily through the type of clamping and the clamping distance to the opening element. This is a fundamental design parameter that determines the balance between opening intensity and fibre gentleness.
