Abstract

A spinning arrangement in which the working elements for the processing of fiber material are arranged within an adjustable climate-controlled zone. The climate-controlled zone can be adjusted in such a manner that the fiber material fed to the working elements has the tendency to supply humidity to the ambient air of the climate-controlled zone. Before the feeding, particularly when deposited in a can or on a roving bobbin and/or on the transport path to the working elements, the fiber material is surrounded by air whose climate differs from the climate in the adjustable climate-controlled zone of the working elements. During the processing, the fed fiber material and the working elements are each in a different climatic condition that is optimal for the processing.
