PRODUCTION CALCULATION FORMULA FOR SLIVER LAP :

          Delivery wt * Delivery speed * 60 min
Prdn/Hr:----------------------------------------                                    
                         1000
                   
     Del wt    :    Grams/mtr
     Del Speed :    Meter/minute
     1000      :    Grams to kilo grams conversion

DRAFTING ARRANGEMENT :   The sliver lap E 2/4a is provided with
DK2 drafting system.  This comprises two double nip assemblies of
2 bottom rollers each topped by rubber rollers, remain 2 bottom
rollers each topped by steel straight fluted rollers.
(In 4/6 drafting system)
The fluted roller pair have the advantage that they hold securely
even the large fibre mass.  However the delivery rate of the
roller pair is as much as 20% higher than that calculated on the
roller diameter and this factor must be taken into consideration
in draft calculation.

TOP ROLLER WEIGHTING:    The drafting arrangement is
pneumatically weighed.  A tube running under the drafting
arrangement on each side contains flexible hose, which has an
internal over pressure and forces a row of pressure shoes down
within the range of weighing hook.  This takes pressure from the
shoes and transmits it over a draw bolt to the top rollers. 
The compressed air to the drafting system is obtained from the
compressor pipe line through a pressure regulator.  The three way
valve helps to cut-off the pressure in drafting system.  It
permits weighting  and relieve immediately wihout affecting the
pressure setting.

WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT :  Adjust the nuts on the draw hooks to the
distance of 8 mm as shown in figure with out any stock in
drafting arrangement, but with normal pressure in the hose.
The level adjustment need be carried out only for erection and
after each grinding of top rollers, but not roller setting in the
drafting arrangement.

DRAFTS :
LAP WEIGHT :
     In put sliver weight | noof slivers  * sliver weight  
                           In put in gms/mtr
     Total draft    :   --------------------------
                           Out put in gms/mtr
TOTAL DRAFT AND BREAK DRAFT :  When the total draft is greater
than `1.5', the break draft should be kept as 1.3.  In this case
45 T gear is to be fixed on the roller `4' and 46 T gear on the
roller `6'.

In special cases if a lesser break draft is required it is
possible to obtain.  For example a break draft of 1.22 can be
obtained by fixing 48 T wheel on the roller 4 and 1.15 by fixing
51 T wheel on the roller 4.

When the total draft is less than 1.5 a break draft of 1.05 is
recommended.  In this case 50 T gear is fixed on the roller 4 and
37 T gear on the roller 6.
    
ROLLER SETTING :   The setting of drafting arrangement with
respect to roller distance and pressure can be determined from
the following table.  The value `a' is equal to the 5% staple,
obtained from staple diagram.

arrangement.  Before reweighing make sure that draw hooks hang
vertical.

At the 5% level drawn a vertical line and its intersection point
with the curve drawn horizontal line which cut the Y axis.  The
point gives values of which are given in above table.

EXAMPLE :
     Fibre length                  :    45 mm
     5% staple                     :    34 mm
     Lap weight                    :    60 gm/mtr
     setting between the rollers   :    Main zone
     5% staple + 6 mm              :    34 + 6 = 40 mm
     Setting between the rollers   :    Break draft zone
     5% staple + 11 mm             :    34 + 11 = 45 mm

After referring the staple diagram, the above distance are set
with little correction.

NOTE :  The best method is to reduce the draft until a slight
pile-up of the fibres occur.  Based on this measure, increase the
draft by one tooth of change gear.

THEORY ABOUT SLIVER LAP (E 2/4a) :

In sliver lap machine the motor drives the main shaft via a `V'
belt and other chain drives.  The front bottom calender driven by
a short chain and long chain drives lap rollers.
Always chain drives work a minimum of backlash.  If the chain is
too loose cuts will occur in the web, when each time the machine
stopped.

LAP SPOOLS :   The lap spool must conform to our drawing,
especially the length and bore tolerance should be strictly. 

CALENDER ROLLER ARRANGEMENT :  The two top calender rollers
arranged one behind the other, are spring loaded.  To give a
measure for the weighting, the bolt of spring is provided three
notches.
                              Total load weight on both sides
     Notch 1   :    12 kg               24 kg
     Notch 2   :    16 kg               32 kg
     Notch 3   :    20 kg               40 kg




SETTING OF TOP DISCS :
     Spool out dia       :    145 mm
     Spool length        :    250 mm
     Front lap roller    :    250 mm length
     Back  lap roller    :    248 mm length


SETTING THE BREAK :  As soon as the preselected  length (1 mtr)
less than the delivery length is obtained the break.  This
operated S8 for which air supplied by means of special regulator
with mono meter (after necessary reduction in pressure)

TABLE GUIDES :  The guides knobs are adjusted in way to approach
the slivers to their neighbours tightly without running over each
other or pressing the slivers in the center upwards.

CONTACT TOP ROLLERS :   The rust proof contact top rollers will
become coated with thin layer of cotton wax.  This has to be set
removed with the solvent, otherwise the layer will be so thick as
to delay the action of electric stop motion.

FUNCTION :   When the lap heads drop, the air supply line (6) is
blocked by piston (5) and the lap heads are retarded by cushion.

LAP LOADING :  The two tables below show the air pressure to be
used.  On no account more than 5 kg/cm2 is to be adjusted.

SOME SETTINGS AND ITS EFFECTS :

Magazine settings:
1.   Clearance at rear from spool centering wall is 1 mm.  This
     setting controls the spools come freely from spool magazine
     to lap disc.
2.   Clearance at delivery side from spool to centering wall 5 mm
     This setting control the spool damage, and also good winding
     on the spool.
Lap discs :
1.   Insert rings or bearing cover clearance should maintain
     0.5 mm (setting inside lap disc piston)
2.   Setting between lap disc to lap roller with spool position
     1 mm should be maintained.  This control lap edge position.
     This setting is to adjusted by means of ;distance rings
     provided inner side of lap disc chamber.           

Lap spool (Tolerance) :  The diameter of the lap spool must not
differ by more than 1.0 mm. The cloth should over lap 10 to 20
mm.
Both spool and cloth should coated with high grade neoprene
adhesive such as Balco me.



AUTO LAP WORKING IN SLIVER LAP & RIBBON LAP :
AIR PASSAGE :  The pressing cylinder (10) and guide head (9) are
connected pneumatically by tubes (8) & (11).
The upper chamber (4) of the pressing cylinder (10) communicates
with the outer chamber (2) of the guide head (9) via the tube
(11).  The lower chamber (3) of the pressing cylinder (10)
communicates with inner chamber (1) of the guide head (9) via the
tube(8).
WINDING ON (Lap loading or running time) Figure.5 :
     Chamber (4) and (2) obtained compressed air via valve S3
    
RELIEVING THE LAP : To serve the lap valve S3 closes and the air
escapes from chamber (4) and (2).  Chamber (3) and (1) receive
compressed air via valve S2.  The pressing pistons (5) stroke-up
and lap discs open.

NON RETURN VALVE (Figure.6) :   A non return valve (7) is fitten
in the air line S2 before the two pressing cylinders (3), to
ensure that the lap heads drop very slowly in lower range.
