Abstract:
A device and a corresponding method produce a knitted fabric with a knitting machine and a roving drawing and strengthening unit. The device has a roving supply unit with a roving, a stretching unit linked to the roving supply unit, and a spinning nozzle device provided downstream from the stretching unit in a roving conveying direction of the device forming a fiber strengthening segment by applying compressed air. An end thread gripping roller pair rotatable in opposite directions is provided downstream from the spinning nozzle device in the roving conveying direction delimiting the fiber strengthening segment. The device has a blow-off device for blowing off the spinning nozzle device and/or the stretching unit and a suction device for suctioning off loose fibers from the spinning nozzle device and/or the stretching unit. The suction device and the blow-off device are interconnected in a blow-off and suction system.

Claim (Index 13):
A device for producing knitted fabric, comprising:\n a knitting machine; a roving drawing and strengthening unit having a roving supply unit with at least one roving, a stretching unit coupled with said roving supply unit, a spinning nozzle device disposed downstream from said stretching unit in a roving conveying direction of the device forming a fiber strengthening segment by applying compressed air, and an end thread gripping roller pair rotatable in opposite directions and disposed downstream from said spinning nozzle device in the roving conveying direction and delimiting said fiber strengthening segment; at least one blow-off device for blowing off said spinning nozzle device and/or said stretching unit; at least one suction device for suctioning off loose fibers from said spinning nozzle device and/or said stretching unit; a blow-off and suction system, said suction device and said blow-off device are interconnected in said blow-off and suction system; at least one air channel running along over said end thread gripping roller pair; said suction device having a suction air cleaning device with at least one ventilation device, said suction air cleaning device having at least one exhaust air outlet connected to said at least one air channel; and said at least one air channel having at least one channel opening aligned on or along said spinning nozzle device and/or on or along said stretching unit.
