Abstract: In an apparatus for the fibre-sorting or fibre-selection of a fibre bundle comprising textile fibres, especially for combing, which is supplied by a supply device to a fibre-sorting device, especially a combing device, having clamping devices, which clamp the fibre bundle at a distance from its free end, for combing to remove non-clamped constituents, at least one take-off device 14 with a sliver-forming element is present, downstream of which is a drafting system. To increase productivity and improve the combed sliver, the fibre-sorting device has at least two rotatably mounted rollers rotating rapidly without interruption, having the clamping devices and between the sliver-forming element and the drafting system the at least one fibre sliver is present in the form of a fibre structure having a width greater than its height, for example, following spreading by a web-spreader.
