In an apparatus at a spinning preparation machine for changing sliver cans, sliver is delivered by a delivery device and deposited in a sliver can. The apparatus comprises means for moving a full sliver can away from the region of the delivery device and means for subsequently bringing in an empty sliver can, from a reserve position to the region of the delivery device. An intermediate storage device is arranged to be brought in to the delivery device during changing of the sliver cans is provided. In order to avoid disadvantageous piling up of the sliver on the intermediate storage device and/or in the sliver can and to allow can changing at maximum sliver production speeds, the immediate storage device is arranged to be driven such that it is movable whilst collecting the sliver.
A can-changing apparatus for a spinning preparation machine, comprising:
An apparatus at a spinning preparation machine for changing sliver cans, having a sliver delivery device for depositing fibre sliver in a moving fibre sliver can located in a filling position with respect to the delivery device, and an intermediate storage device, arranged to be positioned under the sliver delivery device for receiving sliver delivered during changing of the sliver can, wherein there is associated with the intermediate storage device a drive element, which is capable of imparting to the intermediate storage device, during changing of the sliver cans, a movement which substantially corresponds to the movement of the sliver can during deposition of the sliver therein.
