Abstract
A transporting and storage system for spinning machines is described, whose object is to achieve supply between machines that fill spinning cans and machines that empty spinning cans with the least possible loss in terms of travel distances and utility. According to the invention, the can distribution from the machine that fills the spinning cans to the removal can storage area before the machine that empties the spinning cans is maintained unchanged. Between the two machines, preferably three types of can storage areas are provided, namely a storage area to be filled with full cans following the first machine, a main storage area for absorbing production fluctuations between the first and second machines, and a removal storage area for the second machine. In the first storage area, there must always be empty cans, while in the third storage area there must always be full cans, so that no down times of the machines for lack of cans will occur.
