Continuous Yarn Heat Setting Systems
topic
Continuous yarn heat setting uses steam-heated channels, hot air tunnels, or infrared heating zones through which yarn is transported at controlled speed and tension on pin frames or between godets, providing high production rate heat setting of textured and drawn yarns in a continuous process without the batch loading and unloading required for autoclave treatment, with conveyor speed and heater length determining the residence time at setting temperature.
Role
Provides high-production-rate heat setting for textured and drawn yarns in continuous processing lines by integrating the heat setting zone within the yarn production machine or as an inline process that eliminates separate batch treatment, with continuous heat setting enabling the high throughput needed for commodity textured yarn production where autoclave batch processing would represent an unacceptable production bottleneck.
