AirTwist
Produces an “Alternating Twist” yarn:
The direction of twist alternates continuously from S to Z and vice versa.
The direction of twist alternates continuously from S to Z and vice versa.
Unique advantages:
Very cost-efficiënt
The yarns are twisted by means of precisely controlled airflows.
Only the yarns rotate, there are no mechanical “spindles”.
The yarns rotate around their own axis; there is no energy-consuming balloon.
Therefore, process speeds are higher than with conventional processes.
On top of that, the yarn is wound to pre-set lenghts on tubes that are ready for tufting or weaving.
- Minimum labor
- High process speed (approx. 450 ypm)
- Direct winding on tubes: 2 – 6 end yarn
Optimal yarn structure
The filaments are +/- parallel to the yarn axis.
