Abstract
Fiber waste generated during operation of a circular knitting machine is removed from components of the machine by an air suction/blowing fan motor which causes air currents that conduct the fiber waste to one or more filters. Air suction removes the fiber waste from the filters. An adjustable suction cylinder cooperates with the air suction/blowing fan motor to draw air from below the knitting cylinder through a cooling orifice to simultaneously cool the knitting unit.
