Garnett Machine

Garnett Machine
GARNETT MACHINE
A machine for opening hard-twisted woollen, worsted, cotton and silk wastes; also for use in succession to the rag-tearing machine in further opening the material and preparing it for the subsequent process of carding. The machines are made ' with one, two, three or more swifts, with self-contained component parts, while the back and front parts of the machine are detachable and can be moved away on rails. The material is fed to the machine either by hand or through an automatic feeder, and after passing between feed rollers is subjected to the first opening process by encountering the teeth or " Garnett " clothing on a licker-in roller. The points of this clothing pass through the material held by the feed rollers, and carry forward any loose fibres liberated from their grip. Continuing its course through the machine the material is carried on to the first large cylinder or swift, which is also covered with " Garnett " clothing, the points of which are keener than those on the licker-in roller.
