Abstract: A method of reducing trash recirculation into the fiber formation stream of an open-end spinning machine yarn formation station of an open-end spinning machine of the type having a movable trash belt which collects trash removed from sliver during yarn formation, said spinning machine having a predetermined, relatively high, conventional trash belt speed, comprising the steps of moving the trash belt at a low speed determined by the type of trash contained in the fiber, the type of yarn being spun and the type of fabric to be formed from the yarn, but in no event more than 50 percent of the conventional trash belt speed. The low speed of the trash belt is between 15 and 40 percent of conventional trash belt speed, with the low speed increasing as the proportion of heavy to light trash in the trash mixture increases.

Abstract: A method of reducing trash recirculation into the fiber formation stream of an open-end spinning machine yarn formation station in an open-end spinning machine of the type having a movable trash belt which collects trash removed from sliver during yarn formation, the spinning machine having a predetermined, relatively high, conventional trash belt speed "X", and a predetermined optimum trash brush rotational speed "Y". The method includes the steps of moving the trash belt at a low speed "Z" determined by the type of trash contained in the fiber, the type of yarn being spun and the type of fabric to be formed from the yarn, but in no event more than 50 percent of the conventional trash belt speed "X", and rotating the trash brush at optimum speed "Y" without regard to the speed "Z" of the trash belt.

Abstract: A method of reducing trash recirculation into the fiber formation stream of an open-end spinning machine yarn formation station in an open-end spinning machine of the type having a movable trash belt which collects trash removed from the yarn during formation. The method comprises the steps of moving the trash belt at a first predetermined rate of movement for a predetermined period of time, moving the trash belt at a second predetermined rate of movement less than the first rate of movement for a predetermined period of time, cleaning the trash belt and repeating the steps.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for reducing trash recirculation into the fiber formation stream of an open-end spinning machine yarn formation station in an open-end spinning machine of the type having a movable trash belt which collects trash removed from the yarn during formation. The method includes the steps of moving the trash belt at a predetermined rate of movement for a predetermined period of time, stopping the trash belt for a predetermined period of time during which trash collects on the belt, cleaning the trash from the belt during movement of the belt, and repeating the steps.
