A weaving machine for the manufacture of leno cloths includes a leno apparatus with leno elements (5, 5′, 7, 7′, 8, 8′) for the forming of a shed (6) as well as additionally a cleaning apparatus with a plurality of nozzles (10.1, 10.2, 11, 13) for the removal of contaminations in the region of the leno apparatus and of the shed (6). Two of the nozzles (10.1, 10.2) are arranged above the shed, by means of which a compressed air flow (16.1–16.4) which is directed downwardly through the shed (6) from above is produced, and one of the nozzles (11) is arranged in the lower region of the leno elements, by means of which a compressed air flow (17) which is directed substantially horizontally towards the leno elements (5, 5′, 7, 7′, 8, 8′) is produced. In addition, a suction nozzle (13) by means of which a downwardly directed suction air flow (19) is produced is arranged beneath the shed.
Weaving machine for the manufacture of leno cloths comprising a reed and a leno apparatus with leno elements for the forming of a shed including guide elements and a deflection element for ground threads and leno thread guide elements for leno threads, and a cleaning apparatus integrated into the weaving machine for the removal of contaminations in the region of the leno apparatus including one or more nozzles arranged to produce a substantially horizontal compressed air flow transverse to a direction of travel of the ground and leno threads in a region between the ground and leno threads.
Weaving machine for the manufacture of leno cloths comprising a reed and a leno apparatus with leno elements for the forming of a shed including guide elements and a deflection element for ground threads and leno thread guide elements for leno threads, and a cleaning apparatus integrated into the weaving machine for the removal of contaminations in a region of the leno apparatus including one or more nozzles, at least one of the nozzles being arranged in a lower region of the leno elements for directing a compressed air flow towards the leno elements.
Method for cleaning a weaving machine manufacturing leno cloths, the weaving machine including a leno apparatus with leno elements by means of which a shed is formed of ground threads and leno threads, the method comprising removing contaminations in a region of the leno apparatus and/or the shed with a cleaning apparatus which is integrated into the weaving machine and with a plurality of nozzles generating a substantially horizontal compressed air flow which is transverse to a direction of travel of the ground and leno threads in a region between the ground and leno threads.
