Abstract
The blowing device comprises a blow box ( ) which is arranged at the opening nip ( ) between the wire and the cylinder and which is provided with at least two nozzles ( ) or the like arranged close to the wire or the like. The first nozzle ( ) is arranged at the opening nip ( ) between the wire and the cylinder, for blowing air away from the gap ( ) between the wire and the blowing device. The second nozzle ( ) is arranged at a distance from said opening nip, in the wire travel direction. The air jets discharged from the nozzles maintain a negative pressure in the space between the blowing device and the wire. In the blowing device, at a short distance from the opening nip, there is further arranged a throttling means ( ) projecting toward the wire, the throttling means dividing the negative pressure space formed between the first nozzle and the second nozzle into an intensified negative pressure region ( ′) bordering to the location of the opening nip and into a second lower negative pressure region ( ).
