Inlet Systems



There is a choice of two inlet systems dependent on the form of sliver to be processed. These systems are required to present the tops to the Superwash system in an open, even and well-controlled form. This allows a more efficient and even application of treatment to the tops.
Inlet Bump Creel
Designed to accommodate tops from either bump or ball.
Inlet Can Creel
Designed to deliver and present sliver from wound cans.
Rotodraft Opening Device (optional)
The ANDAR Rotodraft is a continuous sliver opening device designed to open the slivers prior to processing to eliminate any compacted areas, which are common in tops that have been transported in high-density balls or compressed form. The Rotodraft produces slivers of a consistent density and tension, while preparing the sliver for the most efficient treatment.

The main benefits of the Rotodraft are:
- Increased flexibility in production schedules because tops can be treated immediately without the needs to relax or reprocess the slivers.
- Normal production rates can be achieved, even when processing Total Easy Care fine wools.
- Savings and efficiencies through chemical and related costs due to improved evenness of treatment of the opened sliver.
- The removal of re-treatment costs, associated with 'surprise' failures.
