Abstract

For improving spinning results, a sideways limited swarm of fibers (11) is applied tangentially at the mantle of a rotating perforated drum (3) whose interior is supplied with suction air, is transported further on this drum (3) in the peripheral direction by the action of suction air, then is clamped between drum (3) and a contacting clamping element (20), and is continuously sucked out from the clamping line (23) by a pneumatic spinning device (27), and transformed to a thread (28).
