The F. S. Type Ever-Cleaner, a continuous-cleaning-device attached to the carding engine, has been designed and developed to improve quality and increase the yield of carding by preventing or reducing neps and by keeping slivers uniform. Use of this device has shown that the yield is increased by 0.6_??_1.0% and that even after a long, continuous operation of the carding engine, neps do not increase but remain practically uniform, while unevenness of slivers is far smaller than before operation. Similar results are obtained not only for cotton but also for wool and other synthetic fibers.
