FIELD: machine engineering.
SUBSTANCE: forming drum for formation of a cloth from short fibers consists of at least two strong frames of annular shape located at a distance from each other and connected by transverse plate elements located radially and forming together with the strong frames a framework for placing a circular meshy surface. The meshy surface is formed by laying radially directed plates, one of which is inserted into the slits of the other plates, along and across the honeycomb section. According to the invention the circular meshy surface is made of at least two sections arranged in a circumferential direction and each of which is located on a separate honeycomb section made in the form of an archwise curved frame limiting the honeycomb structure composed of rectangular cells in the plan and the plates that are forming a meshy surface are located on the honeycomb section with support on the cell-forming plates. To fix the plates on the honeycomb section, a part of transversely and longitudinally disposed plates is executed with tongues with bent ends for engaging with the cell-forming plates on the back side of the honeycomb section. On the top of each frame a detachably mounted grid for the precipitated short fibers is placed.
EFFECT: improving the quality of the resulted finished product.
