Comber Lap

The document discusses the role of combers and the fundamentals of preparing comber laps. It describes how slivers are clamped between nipper plates with fibers projecting from the nippers. Key aspects of lap preparation include parallelizing fibers in the batt, maintaining even batt thickness and weight, and ensuring batt sheet evenness. The document then provides details on classical lap preparation systems like the Rieter E 2/4A and E 4/1 machines. It also describes the design of the Rieter UNIlap E 5/3 lap forming machine and compares different lap winding systems like the OMEGA process. Main specifications of the machines like material throughput and production rates are listed.
