Abstract
An apparatus for steaming of spun cops based on a trough-shaped steamer (2) arranged directly adjacent to a spinning machine (1) parallel to the cops (15) of a spinning station (14) standing in a row. This enables a conventional handling device (17) to move the cops (15) from the spinning stations (14) into the steamer (2) and, after the steaming process, to move the cops (15") from the steamer (2) to the conveyor (16) of the spinning machine (1). The steaming process is thus integrated with the material flow of the spinning plant. The dwell times of the cops after steaming are largely predeterminable. Also, the space requirements of the equipment are minimal and there is no need for additional manual moving of the cops.
