Method and apparatus are disclosed for eliminating or minimizing air borne dust, fly, lint and the like particulate matter, and static accumulations thereof generated by the movement of sliver into the coiler trumpet of a sliver coiler. Coiler head cleaning is accomplished by confining an air flow path over the head of the coiler and establishing an air flow stream along said path to entrain dust, fly, lint and the like particulate matter released by the sliver moving into the coiler trumpet. Apparatus is provided comprising an enclosure confining a volume of air over the coiler head, with an opening leading into the enclosure through which air flowing across the trumpet is admitted. A suction connection is formed in the enclosure remote from the air inlet with air flow established in a path through the enclosure between the air inlet and the suction connection.
A coiler head cleaner for capturing lint, dust, fly and the like particulate matter released by the passage of sliver into the trumpet of a sliver coiler having a head and trumpet through which sliver is fed to a storage can positioned beneath the trumpet, so that relative rotation is produced between the axis of the trumpet and the axis of the can to produce desired coiling of the sliver in the can, said cleaner comprising:
