Abstract
In an apparatus for the fiber-sorting or fiber-selection of a fiber bundle which is supplied by means of a supply device to a fiber-sorting device, mechanical means are present which generate a combing action in order to loosen and remove non-clamped constituents from the fiber bundle, and a take-off device is present to remove the combed fiber material. To enable an improved combed sliver to be obtained, downstream of the supply device there are arranged at least two rotatably mounted rollers with clamping devices for the fiber bundles, which clamping devices are distributed around the periphery of the rollers, wherein in the region between the rollers, devices are present which provide an optimum feed of the fiber material and/or provide optimum positioning of the fiber material for transfer and take-up from the first roller to the second roller.
