A suction device (100) for a textile machine comprising a mouthpiece (2) for introducing at least one yarn, a suction pipe (3) for guiding the yarn and a suction element (5) for generating a suction pressure. The suction element (5) comprises at least two cyclone elements (1a, 1b) for generating a vortex flow of compressed air. The cyclone elements (1a, 1b) are arranged one behind the other in the suction direction (A), so that a yarn can be passed first through a first cyclone element (1a) and then through a second cyclone element (1b). Each cyclone element (1a, 1b) comprises a cyclone axis, the cyclone axes being aligned in particular coaxially. Each cyclone element (1a, 1b) comprises at least one opening (31a, 31b) at the periphery, which is connected to a preferably common air delivery system (12), in particular in such a way that vortexes in both cyclone elements (1a, 1b) have the same direction of rotation. The suction device (100) comprises in particular a Laval nozzle (13).

Disclosed is a system for winding an end of a thread on a central axis of a spool. The system includes a support means for the central axis, the support means being associated with a mechanism for driving this axis in axial rotation. The system further may have a mechanism for moving a portion of the thread to be wound, positioned downstream of the free end of the thread, and a hooking interface to catch a portion of the thread to be wound, this interface being positioned at the end of the spool central axis and fixed in rotation with the central axis to drive the winding of the thread around the central axis. Finally, the system may have a cutting mechanism of the thread upstream of the portion of the thread interacting with the hooking interface.

An apparatus feeds a plurality of threads to rotating godets of a melt spinning machine including a manual injector (e.g., a main manual injector) and a cutting device. In order to be able to selectively feed the threads individually or as a bunch, a transfer device and a second manual injector (e.g., an auxiliary manual injector) are associated with the manual injector.

A method for processing a strand-type fiber bundle includes sending the fiber bundle to an air nozzle of a pre-spinning machine used to produce roving. A twist is imparted to the fiber bundle via a vortex air current within the air nozzle to form the roving, wherein the roving leaves the air nozzle through an outlet and is deposited in a receptacle. Normal operation is interrupted in a stop phases during which roving is not produced by the air nozzle. A start-up phase is commenced between the stop phase and subsequent normal operation wherein the roving produced during the stop phase is discarded after leaving the air nozzle when quality of the roving does not meet a desired specification. The roving discharge is deactivated when the quality of the roving meets the desired specification and the roving removed by the roving discharge is separated from the roving.

A method at a workstation of a spinning machine or winding machine supplies an auxiliary thread from a thread nozzle to a suction assigned to the workstation, the auxiliary thread stretched between the thread nozzle and the suction. The auxiliary thread is severed to form a thread section protruding into the suction and a thread section extending into the thread nozzle, wherein the thread section protruding into the suction is carried away by the suction. The thread section extending into the thread nozzle is grasped with a thread receiver such that the thread section extending into the thread nozzle extends between the thread nozzle and the thread receiver. The thread section extending into the thread nozzle is severed to form a thread section remaining in the thread nozzle and a thread section coming from the thread receiver. The thread section coming from the thread receiver is transferred to the suction of the workstation. The thread section coming from the thread receiver is grasped with a capture arrangement adjacent a tube at the workstation prior to starting a process of winding the thread section coming from the thread receiver onto the tube.
