Abstract
A fiber processing machine includes a roll having a direction of rotation and a clothing for carrying thereon fiber material; a cover partially circumferentially shrouding the roll; an air passage opening provided in the cover; an air guiding element bordering the air passage opening; a support for movably holding the air guiding element for varying a distance between the roll and the air guiding element; a pressure sensor for measuring a static pressure between the cover and the roll; and an arrangement for setting a position of the air guiding element as a function of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor.

A fiber processing machine comprising:
- (a) a roll having a direction of rotation and a clothing for carrying thereon fiber material upon rotation of said roll;
- (b) a cover at least partially circumferentially extending about said roll;
- (c) an air passage opening provided in said cover;
- (d) an air guiding element bordering said air passage opening;
- (e) a support for movably holding said air guiding element for varying a distance between said roll and said air guiding element;
- (f) a pressure sensor for measuring a static pressure between said cover and said roll;
- and
- (g) setting means for setting a position of said air guiding element as a function of the pressure measured by said pressure sensor.
