Abstract
The air used in the various operations of a general textile machine is cleaned prior to being returned to the factory space containing the machine by two sequential mechanisms, the first of which is a fiber separator which removes from the air relatively large contaminants such as fibers, pieces of thread, etc., and which transports these remnants to an outlet trap via a rotating conveyor screw. The second mechanism is a dust separator including at least one dust filter bag through which air is forced to pass inwardly, thereby trapping airborne dust on the surfaces of the filter. The accumulated dust on the filter is removed by periodic application of compressed air to the interior of the dust filter bag.
