Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with a fibre coating line which comprises a fibre payout device ( ) from which fibres are arranged to be guided to a press ( ) for forming a coating round the fibres, a cooling device ( ) for cooling a conductor formed by the coating and the fibres, a pulling device ( ) by means of which the conductor formed by the coating and the fibres is pulled further from the press ( ), and means for guiding the conductor to the next processing stage after cooling, whereby the pulling device ( ) is arranged above the height of the line so as to enable the lowest point of the pulling device ( ) to be substantially at the height of the line. To facilitate the start-up of the line, the pulling device ( ) is arranged to be uplifted entirely above the height of the line substantially in a vertical direction.
