Spinning length E

Index

This length E (Fig. 82) differs quite markedly depending on machine design. If it is very long, then a second or even third balloon might emerge between lappet (F) and the front roller, in extreme cases increasing the ends down rate. However, insufficient length is much more troublesome, because the spinning length is a damping zone for all the shocks and disturbances coming from the balloon. If they pass without reduction into the spinning triangle, they cause a considerable increase in ends down rates. Here too, an optimum has to be found.
