ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for the intermittent cleaning of carding flats by the use of pressurized air. A carriage having a plurality of nozzles is oscillated intermittently back and forth on a track adjacent to flats revolving about a carding cylinder of a carding machine. Pressurized air delivered from the nozzles on the flats blow trash and debris from the clothing of the flats downwardly into a vacuum plenum for disposal. A proximity sensor is provided for sensing a flat to initiate the cleaning cycle, wherein the carriage and nozzles are activated for cleaning a particular carding flat. After the cleaning cycle, delivery of pressurized air to the nozzles is ceased and is again activated upon the next predetermined cleaning of a carding flat.
