Abstract
An arrangement for a rotatable circular comb for processing fibers supplied in the form of a fiber band has arrangement sections fastened on a circular cylindrical mantle surface that is rotatable about an axis of rotation in a direction of rotation. The arrangement sections are arranged behind one another in a circumferential direction of the circular cylindrical mantle surface such that the arrangement sections successively engage the fiber band in an engagement sequence when the arrangement is rotated in the direction of rotation. A first one of the arrangement sections that engages the fiber band first in the engagement sequence upon rotation of the arrangement is an engagement section and the arrangement sections arranged successively behind the engagement section are follower sections. The engagement section has a lesser combing effect than at least one of the follower sections. At least one of the follower sections has a greater length in the circumferential direction than the engagement section.
