## Abstract

A system for suctioning dust and fibrils from a moving web comprising: a suction system; a suction manifold being connected to the suction system; the manifold comprising at least one suction nozzle; the manifold being arranged crossways to the moving web; characterized by the fact that the manifold includes a device for adjusting the distance between the at least one suction nozzle and the web; a roller opposed to the at least one suction nozzle on which the web is made to run.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for suctioning dust and fibrils from a moving web comprising:
a suction system;
a suction manifold being connected to said suction system;
said manifold comprising at least one suction channel, said manifold being arranged cross-directionally to said moving web and said manifold including a device for adjusting the distance between said at least one suction channel and said web;
a roller opposed to said at least one suction channel on which said web is made to run.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

System according to claim 1, wherein said manifold comprises two fixing plates for fastening said manifold to the supporting structure of the production line, by means of a device which permits adjusting the distance between said suction manifold and said web.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

System according to claim 1, wherein the internal section of said manifold is variable, passing from a first internal diameter present in the outermost position of said manifold, to a second internal diameter distal from said first diameter, wherein said first diameter is greater than said second diameter.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

System according to claim 1, wherein said manifold comprises a first suction nozzle and a second suction nozzle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

System according to claim 4, wherein the opening of said first nozzle and/or of said second nozzle has a variable width.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

System according to claim 1, further comprising a recovery and humidification system which comprises a filtration unit associated with said suction manifold; and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit connected to the outlet of said filtration unit, said heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit being connected to a diffuser.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

System according to claim 1, further comprising a sensor of the amount of dust present at the outlet of said suction manifold.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

System according to claim 2, wherein said suction manifold is positioned in the proximity of the web to be cleaned and is fastened with at least one fixing plate to the supporting structure of the production line; the distance between said suction manifold and said web can be adjusted by means of micrometrical screws joining said at least one fixing plate to said supporting structure.

### Claim 9

A method for suctioning dust and fibrils from a moving web comprising:
providing a moving web;
connecting a suction manifold to a suction system, wherein said manifold comprises at least one suction channel;
placing said manifold cross-directionally to said moving web;
adjusting the distance between said at least one suction channel and said web by an adjustment device; and
placing a roller opposed to said at least one suction channel and running said web over said roller.
