Abstract
A carding machine has a doffer, a web delivering assembly cooperating with the doffer, a calender unit arranged for receiving a fiber web discharged by the web delivering assembly. The calender unit includes a sliver trumpet and calender rolls. The calender unit is displaceable between an operative position in which the sliver trumpet is situated in the immediate vicinity of the web delivering assembly and an inoperative position in which the sliver trumpet is remote from the web delivering assembly. A start-up tray is movably supported underneath the doffer and the web delivering assembly. The start-up tray guides leading portions of the fiber web from the doffer to the web delivering assembly during start-up operation. The start-up tray is coupled to the calender unit such that the start-up tray is moved by the calender unit into a start-up position when the calender unit moves into its inoperative position and the start-up tray is moved by the calender unit into the withdrawn position when the calender unit moves into its operative position.
