Abstract:
An air-spinning arrangement comprising:an opening device having a feed device and an opening roller for opening a sliver into individual fibers, a perforated removal roller rotatable in a direction of revolution for receiving the opened fibers at a feeding zone adjacent the opening roller, the opened fibers remaining directed in the direction of revolution of the removal roller and transporting the opened fibers therefrom, a conveying device for transporting the fibers from the removal roller to a nip at a downstream located air-spin nozzle for forming a yarn, wherein the conveying device comprises a conveyor belt arranged downstream of the feeding zone and driven in axially parallel relation with the removal roller at a sufficiently close spacing to the removal roller for picking up the fibers from the removal roller by mechanical contact and deflecting the fibers by approximately 90Â° for delivery to the nip.
