Abstract
The present invention relates to a suction apparatus to be connected to a machine of the textile processing or prepration industry connected to a suction system (1a, 1b, 14) with a work area (a) and a first suction apparatus (3) which is stationary in the surrounding of the work area for the aspiration of fibers, small parts and/or particles (dirt) from the work area. With it a machine cleaning system is created which is able to clean problem zones of the work area of a machine without imosing a load on the space surrounding the machine. This is achieved if a second suction line (4, 16) in form of a hose that is flexible at least in sections the end (6) of which opening towards the work area (A) of the machine is freely movable for cleaning while its end attached to the machine is connected to the suction system (1a, 1b, 14) in order to introduce the aspired dirt into the suction system.
