Blow Room Card A/C Plant & Filter

CMM, Air Changes & Load Study
Executive Summary
In order to maintain waste suction pressure in card machines, especially the takerin waste pipe motor pulley (335 mm) & machine pulley (355 mm) of the 2 radial
fans have been interchanged with (355 mm) being the motor pulley & (335 mm)
the machine pulley. Following report concludes the impact on CMM, Air Changes
& Load after the adjustments.

Drastic increase in pressure was observed after the interchange of radial fan motor & fan pulley was done.
Radial Fan Pulley Dia = 355mm

Motor Pulley Dia = 335 mm

There still are certain cards which still need to be fine tuned (e.g 15, 16 & 17) in order to ensure constant
pressure throughout the cards ensuring consistent waste suction.
