Hairiness significantly influences the appearance of yarns and fabrics. New methods and spinning systems have been offered to reduce it. Nevertheless, there is still the quest for easy, low-cost processes to produce good quality yarns with reduced hairiness. Therefore, due to its considerable importance for spun yarns, we worked on a new spinning method to decrease yarn hairiness. Many researchers have been studying the use of air nozzles in the spinning and also the winding processes, and they indicated that hairiness decreases by up to 40–50%. From this point, we investigated the use of an air nozzle on a compact spinning system and discussed the effect on yarn hairiness. The nozzle was positioned at the exit of the drafting system on a RoCoS compact spinning system and pressurized air was fed into the nozzle by the compressor during spinning. We called the combination of an air nozzle and a compact spinning system a Compact-Jet spinning system. In the literature, there are no such trials. At the end of the study, it was determined that a Compact-Jet spinning system truly improves hairiness by up to 40% in comparison to the compact spinning system and by up to 70% compared with the conventional ring spinning system. Regarding the nozzle structural parameters, the changes in hairiness indicate that the main hole diameter and nozzle outlet design make the most important contributions in reducing yarn hairiness; whereas the injector angle and nozzle head type show weaker effects. As a result, the Compact-Jet can be considered as an innovative spinning system providing the opportunity to produce less hairy yarn. Additionally, we believe that this study makes an important contribution to the research activities in the spinning field and its associated literature.

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the fiber distribution on the surface of a kind of novel two-color yarn spun by regulating the feeding ratio of two colored rovings on a modified ring spinning frame, which is named the double-channel spinning frame. The surface distribution ratio ( SDR) and the coefficient of variation of surface distribution evenness ( CV sd) of the two colored fiber strands in the yarns was used to quantify the fiber distribution feature along the yarns based on a purpose-made image acquisition device and the corresponding image processing method. The effect of the weight ratio, roving feeding position and spinning method on the mean SDR and CV sd were studied, and the testing results of the Z-twist and S-twist two-color yarns spun by a modified traditional ring spinning frame as well as the yarns spun by a modified compact spinning frame were compared with each other. The fibers of the left-hand roving are more likely to distribute in the surface of Z-twist yarn, while the fibers of the right-hand roving tend to distribute in the surface of S-twist yarn. Four linear fitting equations of the 19.4 tex Z-twist and S-twist two-color ring spun yarns and two-color compact spun yarns were developed to predict the relationships between the mean SDR and weight ratio of two colored fibers.

Spinning triangle is a critical region in the spinning process of yarn. Its geometry influences the distribution of fiber tension in the spinning triangle and the properties of spun yarns, such as the yarn breakage and hairiness. In this paper, the relationships between the spinning angle and yarn properties especially the yarn hairiness were investigated under various horizontal offsets. The properties of spun yarns produced by the modified system were evaluated and analyzed. Both left diagonal and right diagonal yarn arrangements were examined. The results indicate that the right diagonal yarn path leads to reduce yarn hairiness but the left diagonal yarn path leads to increase yarn hairiness; the breaking force of yarn changes little; yarn evenness deteriorates slightly with the changes of offset.

In this study, the effect of 100% atmospheric relative humidity on yarn properties was investigated using jet-ring nozzles and compared with the yarn properties of yarns produced with air operated jet-ring nozzles under normal conditions. As a humidification system, a pneumatic conditioner, also known as a lubricant, was used in pneumatic systems. This conditioner was connected just before the pneumatic distributor that supplies air to the nozzles. The tube in stage 2 of the conditioner was filled with pure water at room temperature (25 °C ± 2 °C). The air conditioner dose was adjusted to 100% atmospheric relative humidity. The use of humidified air to jet-ring nozzles had a slight positive effect on all yarn properties (yarn hairiness, yarn irregularity, yarn elongation and yarn tenacity). According to the results, it resulted in a 1% to 3% improvement in yarn quality. This study is the first example and an original study in this field, as there is no study using humidified air in existing jet-ring air nozzle studies. It was proven in this study that humidified air results in a slight improvement in yarn properties.

With the objective of boosting ring spinning productivity, a new tandem spinning system combining air-jet and ring spinning technologies in continuous tandem is investigated. In this “air-plus-ring” tandem spinning system, a drafted roving strand as it emerges from the front roller nip feeds into a single- or dual-jet air nozzle where it is subjected to a vortex of compressed air, producing a pneumatically entangled, false-twisted, partially strengthened strand. This so-called prefabricated, air-bolstered strand continuously feeds into a standard ring spinning zone and is ultimately spun into a novel, single-component yarn. By spinning a few cotton and cotton-blend yarns with the lowest practical twist levels possible on both the tandem and conventional ring spinning systems, we show that a tandem spun yarn can be produced with a relatively lower (true ring) twist level than a pure ring spun yarn. To an extent, the tandem spinning's air-bolstering action reinforces the drafted fibrous strand, contributing to yarn formation and hence character. Since ring spinning productivity is inversely proportional to yarn twist level, the relatively lower twist level required in tandem spinning allows a proportionately higher yarn production speed (in some cases, up to 50% faster than the conventional ring spinning), while maintaining spindle speed at the traditional, optimum level imposed by the limiting traveler speed. Tandem spun yarns, however, are somewhat different from, and generally weaker than, conventional ring spun yarns. This paper briefly describes a prototype of the new tandem spinning system developed on a laboratory Spintester, and shows spinning parameters and properties of a few yarns produced on both the tandem arid conventional ring spinning systems, each employing the traditional (maximum) optimum spindle speed of 10,000 rpm for a given 5.0 cm (2 inch) diameter ring.

Compact spinning, as a new kind of spinning technology, has gained wide attention because of its great reduction in spinning triangle and yarn hairiness. In order to meet the demand of high-grade clothing, research on further improving the performance of compact spun yarn is the emphasis. Of all the existing compact spinning systems, the four-roller compact spinning with lattice apron is most widely used at present because of its low cost. Therefore, this paper aims to put forward a new kind of device to improve yarn performance for four-roller compact spinning systems. Related experiments have been done to verify the efficiency of the device, and the mechanism is analyzed by computational fluid dynamics. The numerical simulation shows that the device can change the direction of airflow and increase the velocity in the directions of transverse condensing and thickness. It is shown that the air damper is convenient to use and has potential applications in spinning compact yarns with better performance.

The current research was carried out to produce fine count yarns from extra-long Egyptian cotton varieties using compact and ring spinning systems.in addition, to compare between compact yarns and ring yarns in terms of their physical and mechanical properties. Three commercial extra-long staple Egyptian cottons Giza92, Giza93 and Giza 96 were used to produce four linear densities of 80, 100, 120 and 140 at 3.6 twist multiplier. Results obtained showed that Giza 92 was surpassed significantly other extra -long staple varieties. It recorded the highest mean values of yarn strength and yarn evenness While, the same variety recorded the lowest mean values of yarn hairiness and imperfections. Compact yarns were much better than yarns spun on the ring spinning in yarn strength, yarn elongation, evenness, yarn imperfections and yarn hairiness. Yarn count 80,s gave higher single yarn strength (20.89cN/tex), yarn elongation (5.03%) and yarn evenness (17.49%) and lower yarn hairiness (2.04) and imperfections than yarn count 140s. Single yarn strength, yarn elongation and yarn evenness were decreased with increasing yarn count. While the number of neps, hairiness, the number of thin and thick places were increased with increasing yarn count. Concerning, the effect of interaction between cotton varieties × yarn counts × spinning systems on yarn quality properties. Yarn count 80s recorded the highest mean values of yarn strength (23.14, 21.1 and 20.2 cN/tex) and yarn evenness (17.72, 16.53 and 16.79%) for varieties Giza92, Giza93 and Giza96, respectively for compact spinning system. Yarn strength at count 80, 100, 120 and 140 correlated negatively and highly significant with micronaire value and maturity ratio.

This paper presents a development of elastic core-spun yarn containing a mix of spandex and polyethylene terephthalate/polytrimethylene terephthalate (PET/PTT) bi-component filament as core to obtain better yarn properties, especially for elastic property. Eight types of core-spun yarns, consisting of different core components with various values of linear density and covered with cotton fibers, were produced using a modified ring-spinning machine with a core spinning attachment. The influences of core components, linear density, and draw ratio of spandex on yarn structure and properties were investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that core-spun yarns containing a mix of spandex and PET/PTT bi-component filament have much lower yarn stress decay as well as lower hairiness and CVm value of evenness compared to the yarns using only spandex. For the yarns containing a mix of spandex and PET/PTT bi-component filament, the yarns containing 70 denier spandex have higher elongation and stress decay compared to the yarns containing 40 denier spandex. The test results show that the elongation of yarns containing a mix of spandex and PET/PTT bi-component filament increases with the increase of the draw ratio of spandex. The stress decay of yarns containing a mix of 70 denier spandex and PET/PTT filament shows a similar trend to the elongation. Moreover, the yarn samples containing a mix of spandex and PET/PTT filament as core exhibit good yarn evenness, with very few thick places and neps, as well as low yarn hairiness.

Cellulosic fibre is a kind of renewable fibre that has attracted more and more attention in textile processing recently. Yarn spinning is the first fundamental process in textile processing. Therefore, in this paper, taking viscose fibre and tencel fibre as examples, the qualities of cellulosic yarn were studied. Three kinds of pure viscose and tencel yarn: 14.6 tex (40S), 9.7 tex (60S) and 7.3 tex (80S), were spun on a ring spinning system modified with lattice apron compact spinning (LACS) and complete condensing spinning (CCS), respectively. The spun yarn qualities, yarn evenness, breaking strength and hairiness, were tested and comparatively analysed. Then two kinds of cellulosic blend yarn including 14.6 tex, 9.7 tex and 7.3 tex JC/R 60/40 yarn, and 14.6 tex, 9.7 tex and 7.3 tex JC/T 70/30 yarns were spun on a ring spinning system modified with CCS. The spun yarn evenness, breaking strength and hairiness were tested, and the cross sections of the spun yarns were presented using a Y172 Hardy’s thin cross-section sampling device. The results show that for both the pure viscose and tencel yarn, compared with LACS, CCS has better yarn evenness, a little lower yarn breaking strength and a little more hairiness, while the uniformity of yarn qualities are all improved. For the cellulosic blend yarn, compared with the pure cellulosic yarn, yarn evenness is worse, especially for the cotton and tencel blend yarn.

The application of compact spinning technology with suction groove for ramie was studied. This technology improved ramie yarn hairiness, breaking strength and so on. The performance of the yarn hairiness was analyzed in detail through contrast test of the compact spinning technology with suction groove and the traditional ring spinning for ramie fiber. At the same time, the comprehensive performances of ramie yarn spinning by the two kinds of spinning technologies were contrasted and analyzed. The results showed that the spinning technology with suction groove can be significantly improved ramie yarn properties: hairiness and breaking strength etc. In the spinning technology with suction groove, the optimal technological parameter for producing least yarn hairiness, A1 B1 C1 D1, is acquired, where the spindle speed A is 6600 r/min, twist B is 608 T/m, the value of negative pressure C is -3.1 kPa, and traveler D is 21 # (yarn Nm 36).
