Abstract

A device with a drafting device (3) for drafting at least one sliver (FB) supplied to the drafting device (3) comprises a sliver depositing apparatus (4) downstream from the drafting device (3) for depositing the drafted sliver (FB') into a can (6). Furthermore, the device comprises a can replacement device (15) for replacing a filled can (6') by a can (6) to be filled. Means (17) is provided on the device for lowering the temperature (T) and/or the relative moisture (LF) of the fibrous material (FB, FB') before or after it is deposited in the can (6). Furthermore, means (17) for raising the temperature T.sub.U of the machine parts (13, 20) that make contact with the uppermost sliver layers (BL) in the filled can (6') can be provided, with which means (17) a condensation of water on the cited machine parts (13, 20) is at least reduced. A combination of a card (1) with a drafting device (3) comprises a sliver depositing apparatus (4), downstream from the drafting device (3), for depositing the drafted sliver (FB') into a can (6) as well as comprises a can replacement device (15). During the replacement of a filled can (6') by a can (6) to be filled the filled can (6') is pushed from the filling position (18) to an adjacent ejection position (19). No machine part (13, 20) covering and touching the uppermost sliver layers (BL) is provided in the ejection position (19) in order to avoid a condensation of water.
