EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATIONOF DIMENSIONS OF A BUNKER FEEDER FOR THE FORMATION OF THE GIVEN LINEAR DENSITY FLOORING
An experimental method for the definition of geometric dimensions of forming a two-chamber bunker feeder, operaling under the conditions of processing fine-fiber cotton, providing the formation of fibrous flooring of the set linear density on the feeding table of the combing machine is proposed. It is proved that the linear density of the combing tape has a rectilinear dependence on the level of the bunker filling with fibrous material, and with the reduction of the width of the forming bunker, the dispersion of the linear density of the combing tape increases which is connected with the phenomenon of cotton lag between the bunker walls. By experimental investigations, the optimal geometric sizes of forming a two-chamber bunker feeder, working under the conditions of fine-fiber cotton processing are obtained.
