SLIVER STEAMER

PURPOSE:To conduct adequate and uniform steam treatment of sliver in the steamer by arranging the sliver inlet and outlet at lower part than the steam introduction means beneath the steam-permeable conveyer and also setting the communicating exhaustion means. CONSTITUTION:The steaming chamber 10 is provided with a steam-permeable and endlessly rotating conveyer 9 for sending sliver 3 from the inlet 14 to the outlet 15, and the steam introduction means 13 is set beneath the conveyer 9 so that the sliver inlet 14 and the outlet 15 become lower than the steam introduction means 13. The sliver 3 is fed through the swing feeder 6 and conveyer 8 and the inlet 14 into the steaming chamber 10, then, comes up together with the conveyer belt and passes over the steam introduction means 13 for steam treatment, and goes down with the conveyer 9 and out of the outlet 17. Thus, the outside air is inhibited from invading into the steam chamber 10 and the exhaustion means 17 is used to remove out the air in the chamber smoothly whereby the atmosphere in the chamber is efficiently replaced with steam.
