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.
A weaving mill for the manufacture of leno cloths comprising a plurality of weaving machines, each weaving machine including a leno apparatus with leno elements for forming a shed, and a cleaning apparatus integrated into the weaving machine for the removal of contaminations in a region of the leno apparatus, the weaving mill being equipped with one or more travelling clearers and the weaving machine being equipped with a control system suitable for activating the integrated cleaning apparatus of the weaving machine in cooperation with the travelling clearers, wherein each weaving machine includes a deflection element for ground threads and leno thread guide elements for leno threads, the cleaning apparatus comprising at least one nozzle 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.
A method for cleaning a weaving machine for the manufacture of leno cloths in a weaving mill operating a plurality of weaving machines, each of the plurality of weaving machines including a leno apparatus with leno elements for the formation of a shed, the method comprising removing contaminations in a region of the leno apparatus with a cleaning apparatus which is integrated into the weaving machine, activating the integrated cleaning apparatus of the weaving machine via a control system of the weaving machine, equipping the weaving mill with at least one travelling clearer, and activating the integrated cleaning apparatus of the weaving machine in cooperation with the at least one travelling clearer.
