Carding action between flats and cylinder
separates fibre tufts to single fibres
Fast
Slow
Doffing Area
Fibre transfer (cylinder to doffer)
Point to point action
Transfer factor: 20-30%
If too low: over carding of fibres
over loading of cylinder
To increase transfer factor:
• Increase doffer wire working angle and depth
• Increase doffer speed
• Decrease cylinder-doffer setting
