Abstract
The antitwist device for circular knitting machines comprises a perforated tube (15E) rotating with the needle cylinder (1) of the knitting machine and a fixed outer tube (15A) essentially coaxial with the perforated tube (15E), inside which is generated a vacuum through a side air connection (15D), a space being defined between said perforated tube (15E) and the outer tube (15A). Inside this space, there is at least one cleaning element (45) attached to an actuator device (43) that moves the cleaning element into contact with the outer surface of the perforated tube (15E).
