Results showed that air jet yarns are stronger, regular and have fewer neps than rotor yarn.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:In this paper, yarn and fabric properties made from Rieter air jet and rotor open end spun yarns have been investigated.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Statistical analysis clarified that both spinning system and yarn linear density affects most of the yarn and fabric tested properties significantly.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Results showed that air jet yarns are stronger, regular and have fewer neps than rotor yarn.
In this paper, yarn and fabric properties made from Rieter air jet and rotor open end spun yarns have been investigated. For each spinning system, three different yarn count were spun, also a single Jersey plain knitted fabric was produced from each yarn count. Statistical analysis clarified that both spinning system and yarn linear density affects most of the yarn and fabric tested properties significantly. Results showed that air jet yarns are stronger, regular and have fewer neps than rotor yarn. Furthermore, yarn properties were reflected in fabric properties as well, i.e. air jet fabrics were found to have a higher value of bursting strength, abrasion resistance and they are smoother than rotor fabrics.
