Abstract
A fiber processing machine includes two oppositely rotated, tangentially cooperating first and second clothed rolls, wherein the first roll is an upstream roll and the second roll is a downstream roll as viewed in a travelling direction of fiber material being entrained by the rolls on fiber-advancing portions thereof. The rolls have a generally horizontal axis of rotation and together define opposite first and second converging gaps. A first carrier is disposed in the first converging gap and partially extends over a circumferential portion of the first and second rolls. A mote knife is mounted on the first carrier and bounds a waste discharge opening situated circumferentially along one of the rolls. The first carrier has a carrier part partially covering the fiber-advancing portion of the first roll; and an additional curved carrier part extends along a circumference of the second roll. The additional curved carrier part defines an air intake gap with the second roll. There is also provided a second carrier disposed in the second converging gap; the second carrier has curved carrier parts extending over portions of circumferences of the first and second rolls.
