A weaving rotor of a series shed weaving machine provides a cover which forms a ring channel with the weaving rotor from a laying-in station up to the cloth edge in the direction of rotation. The ring channel is closed off by further covers, in the direction of rotation and at the side face where the weft arrives. Suction nozzles are mounted along the cloth edge which are dimensioned in such a manner that in spite of the air entering from the insertion and relay nozzles they produce a depression and a flow from the laying-in station to the cloth edge which prevents the deposition of fly. An additional suction nozzle at the arrival of the weft, which is placed in the direction of the weft insertion, additionally stabilizes the flow conditions in the ring channel.
A series shed weaving machine with a weaving rotor which is equipped with insertion and beat-up combs, the machine combs through warp threads with the insertion combs in the form of sheds at its periphery from a laying-in station up to a cloth edge while weft threads are fed into the sheds from a weft thread preparation, with the beat-up combs of the weaving rotor beating up the inserted weft threads against the edge of the formed cloth wherein the weaving rotor is covered by a cover forming a ring channel in the region of the combs from the laying-in station up to immediately ahead of the cloth edge in the direction of of rotor rotation;
