DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING KNITTED FABRIC

摘要

The invention relates to a device for producing knitted fabric, comprising a knitting machine and at least one roving drawing and strengthening unit. The at least one roving drawing and strengthening unit has a roving supply unit, by means of which a roving can be provided in the form of a fiber bundle that has not been strengthened, a stretching unit, to which the roving can be fed in a roving conveying direction in the form of at least one sliver, and a spinning nozzle device, by means of which compressed air can be applied to a drawn roving exiting the stretching unit in a fiber strengthening segment. The invention further relates to methods for producing knitted fabric by means of a knitting machine and at least one roving drawing and strengthening unit. By means of the at least one roving drawing and strengthening unit, a roving is provided by a roving supply unit in the form of a fiber bundle that has not been strengthened, the roving is fed in a roving conveying direction in the form of at least one sliver, the roving is drawn by the stretching unit, and compressed air is applied to the drawn roving exiting the stretching unit by a spinning nozzle device in a fiber strengthening segment and said roving is thus strengthened.
