Air Entanglement for Technical Fibre Assemblies
topic
Air entanglement of technical fibres including carbon, glass, and aramid uses specially designed interlacing nozzles with enlarged channels and low air pressures of 0.5 to 2 bar to create gentle entanglement that provides tow cohesion without the bending-radius-induced fibre breakage that higher pressure nozzles designed for fine apparel yarns would cause on brittle technical fibres, enabling composite reinforcement yarn preparation without mechanical damage.
Role
Provides cohesion for technical fibre yarns including carbon and glass tows for composite reinforcement applications through air entanglement adapted to the fragile fibre characteristics of these materials, enabling production of handleable technical yarn packages that maintain fibre integrity during creel loading and weaving operations where the combination of adequate cohesion and minimal fibre damage is the critical performance balance for composite reinforcement yarn quality.
