Abstract

In a plant for processing textile fibers, the fine cleaning is effected at a point at which the stream of fiber material already has been subdivided (e.g. for the subsequent carding process), e.g. in the card filling chute. The cleaning device comprises at least one separating element arranged above the transporting roll. The trash eliminating system includes a system for eliminating material separated from the zone of the roll.
