The machine description and material passage of ribbon lap machine used in textile spinning is mentioned in the below:
- The lap from the sliver lap machine is creeled here. This lap is unwound and fed to drafting rollers.
- Ribbon lap machine is actually used to increase weight per unit length and uniformity of the lap obtained from sliver lap machine.
- In ribbon lap m/c, 6-8 laps are fed. They form a web of same width but more thickness then doubling and drafting is done.
- To unwind the lap two wooden fluted feed rollers are used here.
- Generally, three over three or four over four drafting system are employed in this machine.
- After drafting the lap is emerged out in web form passes via deflector plate’s web tables and calendar rollers.
- Here, two pairs of calendar rollers are employed to compress the lap.
- That’s why, comber lap is obtained and it is rolled on spool bobbin. Two fluted rollers are responsible to obtain a compact lap.
