In an apparatus and a method for the fibre-sorting or fibre-selection of a fibre bundle comprising textile fibres, especially for combing, which is supplied by means of supply device to a fibre-sorting device, especially a combing device, and which is removed by a take-off device, to enable the productivity to be substantially increased and an improved combed bundle to be obtained, downstream of the supply device there are arranged at least two rotatably mounted rollers rotating rapidly without interruption, which are provided with clamping devices for the fibre bundle, wherein an actuating device for adjusting geometric and/or speed-related variables in the relationship of the rollers to one another are associated with at least one roller.
