Compact Spinning - a New Chance for Ring Spinning

Abstract

A review is given of the techniques for analysing compact spinning and a comparison of compact and conventional ring spinning. The advantages of compact over conventional yarns are analysed, regarding the parameters of quality and economic feasibility. It has been noted that compact spinning is taking over the other areas of spinning, besides cotton - wool, flax, mohair, PET, PAN, PA, aramide fibres, as well as their blends. Investigation is broadened to the impact of compact yarn quality on further stages of processing yarns and fabrics. Higher interest for compact yarns is also recorded in the sector of fine yarns, while the manufacturers of systems for compact spinning assert the advantages of compact yarns, not only for ring spinning, but also for all the other processing stages, from winding to finishing yarns and/or fabrics and end-uses in garment manufacture.
