The Special Structure of Compact Yarns - Advantages in Downstream Processing

Peter Artzt


 
ABSTRACT

Compact spinning forms fibres into a narrow sliver by drafting in a virtually tension-free process withing a compacting zone. The compact sliver is twisted in a very small spinning triangle, thereby eliminating perpiheral fibres. This novel yarn structure gives compact yarns better strength, better elongation, and reduced hairiness. Compact spinning produces superior ring yarns which offer special advantages in downstream processing.
