These devices utilize a ring doffer and revolving tubes to separate carded wool into strips and twist the strips enough to ensure that the fibers adhere in a tubular form. These condensers benefit the carding process by both eliminating the need to piece together individual lengths of carded fibers and producing more uniform, higher quality roving. ]]></note></mads>
