2.1 SCOPE OF MACHINE
The "Mondial Rag Tearing Line" is a machine developed for finely opening cut fabrics,
textile wastes and fibres in general, in order to reduce them to a fibrous state.
In the course of this process, it is possible to select the "good" material and to reject parts
that are not sufficiently open and any impurities present in the material.
ln order to feed textile wastes correctly and evenly to the rag tearing unit through the
appropriate hopper feeder, of mechanical or volumetric type, these must first be cut to
suitable dimensions, which must not exceed 20x20 cm.
ldeal dimensions vary according to the materialto be regenerated. As a general rute, long
cuts are suitable for fragile fibres (wool) and short cuts for strong fibres ( polyester
monofilaments or polyamides).
The number of drums varies in relation to the Vpes of materials to be regenerated and to
the degree of opening required.
As the opening of fabrics and conversion into fibre takes place in a progressive, gradual
manner, during work we may have the simultanous presence of fibres already open and
of whole pieces of fabric. For this reason, a number of detectors have been installed on
the various machine units, in order to separate material that has not been opened; at a
later stage, this material is fed back into the work cycle again through another aperture.
Instead, thesufficientlyopened materialmoves on towardsthedrums locateddownstream,
where it is more and more finely opened thanks to the higher density and fineness of pins.
Depending on the variety of the material to be opened and the targeted fineness, the Rag
Tearing Machine can be composed of two or more elements.
The first group is substantially different from the others; on its top, it accommodates a
recyling system for the "patches" rejected by the drum.
On the othergroups, alldevices are equal except forthe drum, which may have a different
gasket varying progressively in the number and fineness of pins; in fact, these tend to
increase in number and decrease in size (Fig. 1.2).

2.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION / MAIN GROUPS
g
WARNING
THE MONDIAL RAG TEARING MACHINE CAN BE COMPOSED OF A PRIMARY GROUP AND
OTHER, SECONDARY GROUPS, WHOSE NUMBER VARIES ACCORDING TO MATERIAL
CHARACTERISTICS AND TO THE DEGREE OF DEFIBERING DESIRED.
2.2.1 Operating principles of the first group (see Fig.2.2l

:l
The sirpply of fibre may take place, depending on the characteristics of the plant, via
avibrating chute feed unit (volumetric feeding), a feed condenser or, in alternative, via
a hopper feeder. ln all cases, some means must be provided in order to distribute the
material onto a powered conveyor belt (1); in the first case, this happens in a more
orderly manner, in the other two, in a more massive, discontinuous way.
The powered belt (1) , thanks to its movement, makes the material advance while
evening it out, and draws adequate quantities of it towards the feeding area, made up
of a bottom grooved feed roll (2) and a top grooved feed roll (3) .
The upper feed roll is kept pressed against the lower one by two air cylinders (4)
placed at both sides of the feeding roll itself. The conveyor belt and feeding rolls are
driven by a gear motor (5) and by a transmission system including a series of chains
and cogwheels.
The speed of the feed unit and the pressure exerted on the upper feed roll can be
adjusted, in order to optimise machine operation according to the type of fibre and to
the different working conditions foreseen.
The material fed into the machine and kept under pressure between the upper and
lower feeding rolls, is opened and torn by the action of metal pins present on the drum
(6), which revolves in direction opposed to that of the upper feeding roll. These metal
pins are arranged radially on slats (7), which are fitted on the outer surface of one drum.
The drum is driven by the main motor (8) over transmission pulleys and V-belts.

il
Above the feeding rolls there is a patch rejecting device made up of a rollwith four fins,
known as patch rejecting roll(9) which, while rotating in direction opposed to the drum,
intercepts with its fins bulkier pieces of material still unopened, re-directing them again
to the feeding belt in order to undergo the tearing process again.
Fibres, well opened, make a modest bulk, so they tend to remain in spaces between
pins or on the surface of the drum, affected only at a negligible extent by the effect
produced by the centrifugalforce generated by the rotation of the drum.
This force, in fact, tends to expelthe fibres towards more externaltrajectories.
The centrifugal force created by the drum provokes the ejection of impurities made up
mostly of unopened material or foreign bodies of greater mass.
The shape of trajectory is determined by patch return plates (10) and (10 bis) that
direct the materialto be discarded towards the patch return cylinder (1 1 )and the upper
recycling belt (12), which deposits the rejected material on the feed belt in order
undergo a new tearing process.
The defibered material, launched by the drum, is sucked by a condenser drum (13)
and conveyed as far as the doffing rolls(14) which unload it onto the delivery belt(15).
The rejects produced by the sucking action of the condenser drum (dusts or very short
fibres) pass through a fan (16) and are collected inside filters (171 .
lf the purchaser has a central suction plant, all wastes originated by condenser drum
suction will be conveyed into it.
g
WA RN ING
APPROPRIATE ADJUSTING ELEMENTS, WHICH SERVE TO APPROACH THE PATCH REJECTING
ROLL (9) AND THE PATCH RETURN PLATE (10 BIS) TO THE DRUM PINS, ARE CAPABLE TO
ENSURE GREATER CAPABILITY OF REJECTION OF IMPURITIES, THUS IMPROVING THE
DEGREE OF PRODUCT DEFIBERING.

2.2.2 Operating principles of the second and successive groups (Fig. 3.2)
The supply of fibres is carried out by the delivery belt of the unit upstream.
In allcases, the materialis distributed on a motorized feed belt(1) in and orderly and
continuous manner.
By its own movement, the motorized belt (1) makes the material advance towards a
feeding area made up of a smooth bottom roll (2) and a lined top roll (3). The top roll
is kept pressed against the concave surface of the feeding dish (4) by two air cylinders
(5) placed at either side of the top roll itself . Motion to the delivery belt of the preceding
unit and to the feeding rolls is provided by a gear motor (5) and by a series of
transmission chains and cogwheels.
The speed of the feeding system and the pressure exerted on the upper roll can be
adjusted in order to optimise machine operation in view of the type of fibre to be
processed and of the work cycle to be adopted.
The material fed into the second or next group, and pressed between the upper roll
and the feeding dish, is further opened and defibered by the metal pins present on the
drum(7).
The metal pins qre arranged radially on slats (7), which are fitted peripherally on the
outer surface of a drum.
The drum is driven by the main motor(9) overtransmission pulleys and V-belts. In this
case, it revolves in direction opposed to that of the first unit (clockwise in Fig. 3.2).
As an effect of the centrifugal force generated by drum rotation (as in the first unit),
masses of unopened fibre or bulkier foreign bodies are caught by the bits rejecting
plate (10) and deposited on a conveyor belt (11).
This conveyor belt, provided with its own motor (12), conveys the discarded material
to a suctionnozzle (13) where, via a pneumatic conveyor circuit, it is returned to a feed
condenser that deposits on the feed belt of the first group.
The defibered material, launched by the drum, is aspirated by the sieve (14) and
transported as far as the poffing rollers (15) that unload it onto a delivery belt (16)
which finally passes it onto another motorized conveyor belt (17).
The wastes resulting from the sucking action of the sieve (dusts or very short fibres)
pass through a fan (18) and are deposited inside filters (19) .
lf the purchaser has a central suction plant, all wastes originated by sieve suction will
be conveyed into it.

MAKE THE SAME NUMBER OF ROTATIONS ON BOTH SIDES, TO KEEP
THE PARALLELISM
BETWEEN THE TWO FEEDING ROLLERS AND THE TEARING DRUM.
The parallelism between the upperfeeding rollerand drum can be

checked by using shim
rods.
ln case you wish to obtain short fibres, approach the feeding roiler
up to a minimum
distance of 3 mm from drum pins; while, in case of long fibres, you
can proceed in reverse
retracting itfrom the pins.
The change of distance between the drum and the blade brings
to the following results:
a - near the lower feeding roller we have a strong action of fibre

opening.
b - away f rom the lower feeding roller, we have a delicate combing and mixing of fibers,
reducing the risk of breaking them,

. minimum.
Anyway, in orderto guarantee a longer operating life , it is necessary to observe a series
of planned interuentions reported in this chapter, verify caref utly the operation's eff iciency
of allthe rotating parts(motors includred) and repairor replacethem with original spares,
if necessary.
In this machine, there are essentially 5 types of maintenance:
- nonperiodicalmaintenance
- dailymaintenance
- weekly maintenance
- monthly maintenance
- six monthly maintenance
4F.00-95 7.4
Maintenance ffiffit
7.2.1 Non periodical maintenance
To be carried out at the first start-up and in the running phase of the machine:
After 40 hours - Verifythecorrecttensionof conveyorsandchainsand, if necessary,

adjust it by acting on the proper idlers.
Verify that all screws of the machine are well tightened.

Pay particular attention to the screws f ixing the lags with pins
tothe drum.
For the eventual tightening, disassemble the side guards on
the drum and act on the nuts placed inside the drum.
After 300 hoursr fhe running of the endless screw gears of the feeding unit and of bit
rbturn conveyor ends. change the oil with and refill the tap (TAB
,rc,,),
before fil lin g up with new lubricant to the level tap, accurately wash the
inside of the tank with naphta, if possible.

WA RN IN@
THE ENDLESS SCREWGEARS INSTALLED ONTHE MACHINE MAY BE OFTHE "LIFE GREASED"
TYPE. THESE GEARS CAN BE RECOGNIZED BY THE ABSENCE OF THE LEVEL TAP.
INTHIS CASE, NO MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED,
7.2.2 Dailymaintenance
a) Check the cleaning of the compressed air filter.
b) Check around the machine if there are traces of oil. lf there are any, make sure where
theycomefrom.
c) At the end of each working day, clean the machine with a jet of compressed air.
d) lf the machine is not used continuously (that is, 3 working shifts) at completion of the last
shift, before the rest period, remove all materialfrom the machine and make sure that
the main switch of the electric control paner is in position "0" (off).

Anyway, problems ma! arise in case of improper use, such as:
- jam due to material overfeeding;

- fireoutbreak.
g
WARruilN@
ASTHETEARING MACHINE IS INTEGRATED IN A PLANT, FAULTS MAY NOT BE EXCLUSIVELY
DUE TO THE LINE ITSELF BUT MAY DEPEND ON SITUATIONS CAUSED BY THE MACHINES
CONNECTED UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM.
8.2 JAM DUE TO MATERIAL OVERFEEDING
When a jam develops, it is generally due to a wrong speed setting on the feeding and
deliveryconveyors.
The mateerial accumulates inside the machine, causes drum motor overload, the
magnetothermal safety switch is tripped, and the drum stops.
To restore the operating conditions, proceed as follows:
- pushthe button REVERSE RUN.

- Act the divertervalve 6 (Fi9.3.2) and lift the upperfeeding roller.
- Put the "OPENING GUARD" key selector placed on the main panel, in pos. "0".
and waitto light upthe green warning light "OPENING CONSENT".
- Open the guard of the drum transmission belts.
- With the help of a lever placed in the spokes of drum pulley, rotate the drum to f ree it
f rom compacted material.

8.3 FIRE OUTBREAK
Friction developed between the fibre (flammable) and the rotating mechanical parts
or
sparkle caused bythe drum pins against metal impurities present inlfre material may
start
a fire.
In this case, the operator must:
a) press the emergency button (red, "mushroom head") which disconnects

the power
supply to all motors, disconnecting the electric supply.
b) Act on the proper switches and turn off all the dust suction devices:
this procedure limits the fire to a smaller area.
c) Intervenewith the means available.
d) After a fire, proceed to clean the area involved, removing all residues. This procedure
permits to reduce the risk of anotherfire.
