FLOW LINE FOR PRODUCING COTTONIZED FIBER FROM SHORT FLAX Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: textile industry. SUBSTANCE: flow line has unpile with ripper, group of first combing machines, group of second combing machines, flax fiber compressing and baling unit, as well as wastes removal apparatus, with all mentioned parts of line being positioned in succession. Flow line is further provided with flax pretreating unit positioned between depiler and group of first combing machines. Rolling mechanism is positioned between groups of first and second combing machines. First accumulator with condenser, group of third combing machines and second accumulator with condenser and fiber emulsifier are positioned in succession between group of second combing machines and flax fiber compressing and baling unit. Such construction allows cottonized fiber with structure approaching that of cotton to be produced by increased number of cleaning, ripping, flax fiber splitting, multiple parallelism and emulsification stages. Such flax fiber has linear density of 0.6-1.5 tex and content not exceeding 0.2-0.5%. EFFECT: increased efficiency and improved quality of flax fiber. 2 cl, 1 dwg
