Abstract
A yarn texturizing system, apparatus, and methods of reducing production loss or increasing production speed in a continuous textured yarn production process are provided. The system includes a yarn supply, a yarn stuffing container to produce textured yarn periodically released therefrom, a yarn draw to draw yarn from the yarn supply to the yarn stuffing container, a yarn conveyor belt positioned downstream from the yarn stuffing container, and a yarn bundler positioned between the yarn stuffing container and the yarn conveyor belt to bundle the textured yarn prior to deposit onto the yarn conveyor belt.
Claims9
A yarn texturizing system comprising:
- a yarn texturizer to texturize yarn;
- a yarn bundling device positioned downstream from the yarn texturizer to receive texturizer yarn;
- a yarn compressor positioned to compress the texturized yarn at least after initially received by the yarn bundling device;
- and
- a yarn compressor positioned to convey the texturized yarn.
A yarn texturizing system comprising:
- a yarn texturizer to texturize yarn;
- a compressor positioned downstream from the yarn texturizer to compress the texturized yarn;
- a yarn conveyor positioned to convey the compressed texturized yarn;
- and
- a heat setting oven positioned to receive the compressed texturized yarn and to heat set the compressed texturized yarn.
A method of enhancing the texturizing of yarn, the method comprising:
- compressing the texturized yarn;
- conveying the compressed texturized yarn to a heat setting oven;
- and
- heat setting the compressed texturized yarn.
