Abstract

The invention relates to an air spinning machine with at least one spinning unit (15) comprising at least one spinning nozzle (1), whereas the spinning unit (15) serves the purpose of producing a yarn (2) from a fiber composite (3) fed from a spinning nozzle (1), whereas the spinning nozzle (1) features an inlet (4) for the fiber composite (3), an internal vortex chamber (5), a yarn formation element (6) protruding into the vortex chamber (5), along with an outlet (7) for the yarn (2) produced inside the vortex chamber (5), and whereas the spinning nozzle (1) features multiple air nozzles (23) leading into the vortex chamber (5), which are in fluid connection with at least one air supply line (24), whereas, during the operation of the air spinning machine, compressed air provided by the air supply line (24) flows through the air nozzles (23) into the vortex chamber (5) in order to generate a vortex air flow in the vortex chamber (5). In accordance with the invention, it is proposed that the air spinning machine features an additive supply (8), which is formed to provide the spinning unit (15) with an additive (9), whereas the additive supply (8) comprises a pressure tank (11) in which the additive (9) is held for forwarding to the area of the spinning unit (15) and in which a gaseous pressure medium (12) is contained, and whereas the additive supply (8) comprises at least one additive supply line (14) running independent of the specified air supply line (24), through which the pressure tank (11) is connected to an additive delivery (13), and through which the additive (9) of the spinning nozzle (1) is able to be fed independent of the compressed air introduced through the air supply line (24) into the vortex chamber (5). In addition, a method for operating an air spinning machine is proposed.
