The NSC GN5 is a fiber drafting and blending machine, also known as a gillbox, manufactured in 1971 by N. Schlumberger & Cie, Guebwiller, France. This machine is designed specifically for preparing fibers by parallelizing and blending slivers before the spinning process. It can feed up to 12 slivers from bobbins and cans, and delivers 4 well-aligned slivers into 2 output cans with dimensions of 400 mm diameter by 900 mm height. This makes it suitable for processing various fibers, including wool and synthetic materials, ensuring uniformity in the slivers produced.
The machine operates on a 380V power supply with a frequency of 50 Hz and a 3-phase electrical system. Constructed with a green-painted metal framework, it features multiple circular components and rollers essential for fiber drafting. Internal mechanical parts include belts, pulleys, and gears, which show signs of wear but appear intact. The machine also has visible red and black pulleys and a black pipe integrated into the framework. While some components display dust and signs of use, there is no visible structural damage, indicating the machine has been maintained in a clean indoor environment.
A yellow label marked "604/4" is affixed to the side panel, and the manufacturer’s plate confirms the model and serial number details. The overall condition suggests the machine is structurally sound and suitable for continuous production settings, although the belts and gears exhibit typical wear from usage. This NSC GN5 gillbox is a reliable choice for textile operations requiring consistent fiber preparation and blending.
