Objective
The objectives of the project were to determine the process and engineering needs for producing flat textile yarns at winding speeds between 6000 and 10000 metres per minute with a view to assessing the potential for reducing manufacturing costs and increasing productivity in commercial operations.
The research achieved the objective of building a machine for studying the effect of process changes and product properties at spinning speeds significantly higher than current production practices. Significant success was obtained at speeds of about 7000 metres per minute compared with 4000 per minute in existing processes.
Another aim of the project was to explore the possibilities of developing new and improved yarns. Changes in yarn properties have been observed giving guidance regarding the direction of future work.
IN THE PAST TEN YEARS ADVANCES IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF MELT SPUN SYNTHETIC YARNS HAVE BEEN MADE WHICH HAVE LED TO ALL MAJOR FIBRE PRODUCERS OPERATING RELIABLE PROCESSES WHICH ENTAIL YARN COLLECTION AT SPEEDS OF THE ORDER OF 5KM/MIN.
THIS PROJECT ENVISAGES TAKING A FURTHER MAJOR STEP FORWARD IN REDUCING MANUFACTURING COSTS AND IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY OF THE MELT SPINNING OF NYLON AND POLYESTER CONTINUOUS FILAMENT YARNS BY DETERMINING THE PROCESS AND ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS WHEN YARN COLLECTION SPEEDS ARE IN EXCESS OF 6 KM/MIN, AND POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS 10KM/MIN.
