The dust extraction device located on the cam carriage (13) of the flat knitting machine has separate, independently operable suction fans (27) for the front and rear needle beds (11,12), which, by lowering of the suction nozzles (29,30), the use of smooth-walled suction ducts (31,32) and coupling of the dust containers (37) with the suction ducts and with the suction fans (27) ensures a good cleaning effect with low expenditure of energy and a maintenance free operation.

Dust extraction device for flat knitting machines

In the present invention, the entire equipment, a suction blower with drive motor, suction nozzles (1) directed towards the needle beds (2) and at least one due collecting chamber (5) for the dust extraction device for flat bed knitting machines, is arranged on the machine carriage (14/15). For this, a dust collecting chamber (5) is designed within the inner space of a hollow carriage bracket (14,15) and the collected fibre dust or lint can be compacted and discharged by means of a conveyor screw (45).
