Abstract
The invention relates to a travelling cleaner (1) for textile machines, in particular spinning and weaving machines, which has a blowing and sucking device (3) and also a filter device (4). The filter device (4) has a tubular filter cartridge with at least one lateral casing opening, via which the filter interior space is connected to the blowing and sucking device (3) by a lateral air connection (12). The casing opening (14) is formed as a longitudinally running, preferably I-shaped, slit. For cleaning the filter, a filter-cleaning apparatus (20) is provided, which travels axially over the filter casing (11) with a suction tube (22a) and a plurality of blowing nozzles (23a) and cleans it zone by zone with an intense air jet.
