Why a Traveling Textile Cleaner Both Blows and Sucks
Lint can collect around a textile machine as it runs. A rail-guided cleaner moves its nozzles along the equipment, returning repeatedly to the working areas.
Follow the air through the process
Blowing loosens the lint
A directed jet reaches a machine surface and dislodges loose fibres. Blowing alone can move that lint somewhere else. The cleaning circuit also needs a collection route.
Suction collects the displaced fibres
Pickup hoses draw loose lint toward the collection unit. The blowing and pickup positions work together as the carriage travels. Machine and floor coverage depend on the nozzle layout.
Separate fibres before the fan
In this example, the collected air passes through a fibre filter before entering the blower. Fibres remain on the dirty side; the air continues through the filter openings.
Filtered air feeds the blowing nozzles
The blower sends filtered air into the blowing ducts. This closes the illustrated cleaning-air circuit. As the filter loads, its added resistance can change both pickup and blowing flow.
Airflow function
- Draw pickup air through the fibre separator/filter.
- Deliver filtered air to the directed blowing nozzles.
- Sustain the combined circuit duty while the carriage covers the machine.
What can change the result
- Blowing without collection may only relocate loose lint.
- Pickup and nozzle placement can leave parts of a long machine uncovered.
- A loaded fibre filter can reduce both pickup and blowing flow.
Start with the complete air path
Share your layout and the information you already have. Unknown values can be identified before a configuration is selected.
Match the fan to this air path
LONGWELL multiwing centrifugal families can be considered for the filtered-air component. Share the nozzle duty, filter resistance, available space and moving-unit load. Confirm the complete textile-cleaning assembly.
Where it sits
After the fibre filter and before the blowing hoses in the illustrated suction-filter-blower circuit. The moving carriage, pickup hoses and separator remain part of the equipment design.
Why consider this configuration
One blower in this arrangement supports suction upstream and blowing downstream. Its operating point must include both hose networks and the filter as it loads.

Application questions
Why combine blowing with suction?
The jet loosens lint, while the pickup route collects it. Blowing alone can simply move fibres to another surface.
Does lint pass through the fan in this example?
The illustrated filter is upstream of the blower. Fibres stay on the dirty side and filtered air feeds the blowing hoses.
Why can a loaded filter weaken both functions?
Both branches belong to the same illustrated circuit. Extra filter resistance can reduce the flow available for pickup and blowing.
Discuss your travelling-cleaner airflow
Send the machine coverage and hose/nozzle layout, clean and loaded filter resistance, available space and allowable carriage mass. We can review the filtered-air fan duty.
A layout, installation photos or your existing model is enough to start the discussion.
