Apparatus for separating impurities from a fiber material flow, in particular spinning material fibers

摘要

Apparatus for separating waste particles from a textile fiber flow is disclosed which includes a housing (2, 22, 34) with a deviation zone (4) and separation zone (6). Following the deviation zone is a fiber flow discharge channel (5). Following a separation means (10, 11, 23) is a waste chamber (7) for removing large and small particles of waste. The waste particle separation device includes a plurality of rod elements (10, 11) which are curved to guide lighter particles upwardly to prevent adherence to the separating element. Larger particles pass through openings between the rod-like elements to the collection chamber. Communication between the fiber flow and the waste flow may be had by using a valve member (27, 35) to intermittently connect a collection channel (25) with a suction removal source (8) via waste chamber (7).
