Abstract

A method of starting the operation of a friction spinning unit having friction surfaces displaceable in opposite directions and forming a spinning wedge, the spinning unit further having a fiber infeeding device, a thread take-up device for drawing a thread longitudinally through the spinning wedge, and at least one suction device acting upon the spinning wedge, at least one of the friction surfaces being formed by a sieve drum, the suction device having a suction nozzle acting upon the spinning wedge by sucking air through the wall of the sieve drum includes: PA1 (a) stopping the fiber infeed, and stopping the displacement of the friction surfaces; PA1 (b) stopping the flow of suction air from the spinning wedge through the wall of the sieve drum into the suction nozzle; PA1 (c) introducing into the spinning wedge through the wall of the sieve drum a suction air flow in a direction opposing the direction in which the thread is being drawn, and guiding the air flow out of the suction nozzle through the wall of the sieve drum and in a direction opposing the direction in which the thread is being drawn, along the spinning wedge, and out of the spinning wedge; PA1 (d) after a given ef…
