Abstract: An injector for a textile processing machine for the manufacture of fleece material. A pressurized medium is introduced to an inflow chamber (13) provided inside an injector body (11) via several channels (23) in fluid communication with a pressure distribution chamber (18). The communicating channels (23) are cylindrical bores provided in the injector body (11) and arranged in one or two rows so as to be offset relative to the longitudinal center plane (39) of the inflow chamber (13). The pressure distribution chamber (18) adjoining the communicating channels (23) comprises a first wall section (45) forming a first deflecting surface (46) extending, at least in sections, diagonally or transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (26) of the communicating channels (23). The medium flowing from the communicating channels (23) is deflected by the first deflecting surface (46), so that said medium changes direction before reaching the downstream nozzle openings (37).
