A compactor device for compacting a sliver that is drawn by a drafting system of a textile machine is provided. In accordance with the invention, it is envisaged that the compactor device is designed as a channel compactor and has a guide channel, designed in the shape of a screw in the running direction of the sliver, wherein the entry opening of the guide channel is widest horizontally and the exit opening of the guide channel is arranged rotated at least 30° with respect to the entry opening.

Compactor device

A spinning position of an air-spinning machine and method of cleaning a yarn forming element of an air spinning nozzle are provided. The spinning position has an air spinning nozzle with a yarn forming element arranged within a vortex chamber for producing a yarn from a fibre band supplied to the air spinning nozzle, in which case the air spinning nozzle can be transferred from a closed state for yarn formation to an open state in which the yarn forming element can be cleaned. At least one cleaning nozzle for cleaning the yarn forming element in the open state of the air spinning nozzle is arranged at the spinning position, the cleaning nozzle being positioned and/or aligned or positionable and/or alignable, such that, at least in the open state of the air spinning nozzle, the yarn forming element can have a cleaning medium applied to it through the cleaning nozzle.
