Abstract
An endless transport belt transports a drafted fiber strand through a fiber bundling zone. The transport belt is provided with a perforation for a suction air stream which suctions the fiber strand. The transport belt is provided with a sufficiently smooth surface for sliding over a suction device. The transport belt can be in the form of an endless woven or knitted sieve belt or alternatively in the form of an extruded plastic apron having punched out holes.
