Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with a fibre coating line which comprises a fibre payout device (1) from which fibres are arranged to be guided to a press (2) for forming a coating round the fibres, a cooling device (3) for cooling a conductor formed by the coating and the fibres, a pulling device (4) by means of which the conductor formed by the coating and the fibres is pulled further from the press (2), and means for guiding the conductor to the next processing stage after cooling, whereby the pulling device (4) is arranged above the height of the line so as to enable the lowest point of the pulling device (4) to be substantially at the height of the line. To facilitate the start-up of the line, the pulling device (4) is arranged to be uplifted entirely above the height of the line substantially in a vertical direction.
