Abstract
In the case of a spinning machine with several spinning stations for the spinning of sliver which is guided by transport devices from cans to the spinning stations, devices are provided for the air-conditioning of the slivers during the transport from the cans to the spinning stations. The air-conditioning devices include air-conditioning ducts which extend adjacent a portion of the travel path of the slivers.
Claims20
A spinning machine comprising a plurality of spinning stations, each said spinning station having a drafting unit and supplied with silver from a silver-containing can, comprising:
- transport devices that transport silvers from the silver-containing cans to the drafting units, the transport devices containing transport belts on which the slivers are transported, wherein the slivers are driven between the cans and the drafting unit at each point by a single transport belt without a facing movable belt;
- at least one duct for supplying air-conditioned air, said duct extending in a longitudinal direction of the spinning machine and supplying the air-conditioned air to a plurality of spinning stations;
- wherein the air-conditioned air is supplied to the slivers in an area between the sliver-containing cans and the drafting units, the slivers being at least partially exposed to the air-conditioned air when on the transport belts during the transport of the slivers to the spinning stations.
