Fiber waste generated during operation of a circular machine is removed from components of the machine and/or an associated creel by air currents that conduct the fiber waste to one or more filters. Air suction and/or air jet forces remove the fiber waste from the filters. In one embodiment the waste removing apparatus includes stationary air suction and/or air jet devices that remove the fiber waste from a rotating filter. In another embodiment the air suction and air jet devices rotate and the filter is stationary.

Apparatus for cleaning the dust collector/remover filter

A fan located in a lower part of an inner section of the creel stand creates an air flow that extends upwardly through a cylindrical duct to a ceiling plate of the creel stand. The air then passes radially outwardly, and thence downwardly through an outer section of the creel stand to filters adjacent the bottom of the stand. One of the filters undergoes rotary movement, and fiber waste is conducted from it to a collection source by a suction device.
