       36 . Machine according to  claim 30 , wherein said outlet arrangement comprises a duct arrangement suitable for connecting said intake duct with said inlet arrangement of the air flow. 
   
   
       37 . Machine according to  claim 36 , wherein said duct arrangement comprises at least one union duct suitable for connecting said intake duct with an outlet duct that is connected with the inlet arrangement. 
   
   
       38 . Machine according to  claim 29 , comprising a further outlet arrangement opposed to said outlet arrangement and extending substantially over the full extension of said longitudinal passing through dimension. 
   
   
       39 . Machine according to  claim 38 , wherein said further outlet arrangement comprises a further intake duct having a substantially “C” like shaped cross section open towards said processing volume. 
   
   
       40 . Machine according to  claim 39 , wherein said further intake duct extends substantially adjacent to said bottom portion. 
   
   
       41 . Machine according to  claim 39 , wherein said further intake duct extends externally to the containing arrangement. 
   
   
       42 . Machine according to  claim 39 , wherein said further outlet arrangement comprises further duct arrangement suitable for connecting said further intake duct with said inlet arrangement. 
   
   
       43 . Machine according to  claim 42 , wherein said further duct arrangement comprises at least one further union duct suitable for connecting said further intake duct with a further outlet duct that is connected with said inlet arrangement. 
   
   
       44 . Machine according to  claim 38 , wherein said further outlet arrangement comprises at least one outlet opening adjacent to said bottom portion and communicating with an external environment. 
   
   
       45 . Machine according to  claim 44 , wherein said outlet opening is made on a frontal wall of said containing arrangement and/or in the bottom portion. 
   
   
       46 . Machine according to  claim 43 , comprising two further union ducts that connect opposing ends of said further intake duct with respective further outlet ducts. 
   
   
       47 . Machine according to  claim 43 , wherein said duct arrangement comprises at least one union duct suitable for connecting said intake duct with an outlet duct that is connected with the inlet arrangement and said union ducts are substantially orthogonal to the respective intake ducts and substantially parallel to a supporting plane of the machine. 
   
   
       48 . Machine according to  claim 47 , wherein said outlet ducts are substantially orthogonal to the respective union ducts and orthogonal to said supporting plane.
