Abstract
The spinning machine comprises a drafting frame for drawing sliver and at least one fiber suction station connected to a vacuum source associated with this drafting frame. To save energy each fiber suction station is provided with a sensing means for detection of broken fiber or roving and throttling means for throttling the suction. The throttling means is adjustable to a throttled position in the air stream which considerably reduces the air flowing into the fiber suction duct. This throttling means is also automatically disengagable into a position resulting in a considerably increased air flow rate following detection of broken fiber or roving by the sensing means.
