Abstract
A circular knitting machine for the production of knitted goods by at least partially using fiber materials is described. The circular knitting machine includes drafting devices (8b) associated with the individual knitting systems (6) to feed and attenuate slivers (10), flyer frame slivers or the like, and also drive units (28) operatively connected to the drafting devices (8). According to the invention, the drafting devices (8) are arranged below and the drive units (28) are arranged above a partition and mounting wall (26) separating them in a fiber-tight arrangement, wherein the drive units (28) are coupled to drafting rollers (35, 36) of the drafting devices (8b) through the partition and mounting wall (26) (FIG. 3).
