Effects of Feed Sliver Moisture Content on Rotor Spinning Performance and Rotor Spun Yarn Properties

AbstractThis article provides three models to predict rotor spun yarn characteristics which are breaking strength, breaking elongation and unevenness. These models used noncorrelated raw material characteristics and some processing parameters. For this purpose, five different cotton blends were processed into rotor spun yarns having different metric numbers (Nm10, Nm15, Nm18, Nm22, Nm30 and Nm37). Each count was spun at different twist levels. Response surface method was used to estimate yarn quality characteristics and to study variable effects on these characteristics. In this study, predicting models are given by the analysis of response surface after many iterations in which nonsignificant terms are excluded for more accuracy and precision. It was shown that yarn count, twist and sliver properties had considerable effects on the open-end rotor spun yarn properties. This study can help industrial application since it allows a quality management-prediction based on input variables such as fibre characteristics and process parameters.

This paper introduces a new and flexible spinning method that is modified on a rotor spinning machine. The modification is implemented by a novel mechanical system specially designed to incorporate three separate feed rollers side by side and controlled by servo motors with programmable logic controller (PLC). Using this new method, yarn structure parameters including linear density and blend ratio can be controlled and realized by asynchronous drafted slivers. Sixty-six types of color blended yarns were produced by controlling blending percentages of three basic colored slivers (magenta, yellow, and cyan) by changing the feeding speeds of the slivers respectively with constant yarn linear density and color. Surface morphologies, blending effects, and performances of the yarns were tested and analyzed. In addition, fancy yarns including slub yarn, period melange yarn, gradient melange yarn, and color pointed melange yarn were produced and their longitudinal morphologies were taken. The results demonstrated spinning feasibility and product variety of the three channeled rotor spun process.

Test Result

Use of nylon/cotton blend yarn in military uniform is common and due to advantages in its fabric in comparison to 100% cotton fabrics, capabilities of military uniforms have been improved. In this study the effects of navel type on properties of (50%-50%) nylon/cotton blend yarn and wrapper formation were investigated and compared with similar ring spun yarn. Rotor spun yarn was produced on a single head laboratory rotor spinning machine with four navels (smooth, spiral, 3 grooved, and 4 grooved) and ring yarn was produced on a zinser 319 ring spinning machine. Test result showed that navel type has a significant effect on yarn strength and strength of smooth navel yarn was maximum. Elongation of a 100% cotton rotor spun yarn is more than similar ring yarn, but it was not observed in cotton/nylon blend. Yarn irregularity and imperfections varied significantly with navel type and for rotor yarns were more than the ring yarn. Navel type had significant effect on yarn hairiness but it didnot have an effect on yarn abrasion significantly.

Rotor Spun Yarn

Color blended rotor spun yarn mixing with different methods were spun. Three blending methods were used, one passage of drawing, three passages of drawing and rovings during multi-channel spinning. Multi-channel spinning is modified on rotor spinning machine, which is implemented by a novel mechanical system specially designed to incorporate three separate feed rollers side by side and controlled by servo motors with PLC. Using this new method, blend ratio of yarn can be controlled and realized by asynchronous drafted rovings. 37 type of color blend yarn were produced with different blending ratios. And each yarn was intercepted with 5 cross sections and a total of 185 cross-sectional images were taken. Hamilton index of different colored fibers were calculated of the each type of yarns. And sum of absolute values of Hamilton index were got to demonstrated fibers blending effect in yarns cross sections. All the Hamilton index of the yarns prepared by the three above mentioned methods were all around 5, much below 20. The results showed that regardless of blending method used, the blending effects of rotor spun yarns were all very good.
