Claims2
A drafting system of air-spinning machine or roving flyer, which drafting system has a pre-draft field and a compactor device for compacting a sliver that is drawn through the drafting system, wherein the compactor device is designed as a channel compactor and has a guide channel designed in a shape of a screw in a running direction of the sliver,
- characterized in that
- the compactor device is arranged in front of a roller pair of the drafting system to deliver the sliver, which initially runs in a flat horizontal direction into the entry opening of the guide channel of the channel compactor, and wherein the guide channel of the channel compactor has a minimum width in an area of its horizontally positioned entry opening and the minimum width then increases through the guide channel and has a final maximum width in an area of the exit opening, which is arranged rotated in a vertical direction compared to the entry opening.
