Air-spinning arrangement

Abstract

An air-spinning arrangement has an opening device having a feed device and an opening roller for opening a sliver into individual fibers. A perforated removal roller receives the opened fibers from the opening roller in the circumferential direction. A conveyor belt conveys the fibers from the removal roller to a nip with a following air-spin nozzle for forming a yarn. The conveyor belt is arranged axially-parallel with the removal roller. A sufficiently close spacing of the conveyor belt from the removal roller is selected such that the fibers conveyed to the removal roller can be picked up by mechanical contact, and the conveyor belt is driven such that it deflects the fibers by approximately 90° and conveys them to the combing location. The air-spinning arrangement allows the formation of a fiber structure that is well suited to the air-spinning process.
