Abstract
A method for producing a textured polyester yarn, especially in an in-draw texturing system, in which starting yarn is processed by means of a non-touch type heater under a heater temperature in a range of from 350.degree. C. to 800.degree. C. and a shorter processing time in a range of from 0.04 second to 0.12 second. The dyeing evenness of the fabric made from the resultant yarn is improved because the dyeability of the yarn is almost constant despite fluctuation of the heater temperature. A belt-type twister is preferably utilized for false-twisting a yarn rather than a disc type.
Claims4
A method for producing a textured yarn of polyester filament, wherein polyester filament yarn substantially composed of polyethylene terephthalate is continuously false-twisted by means of a twister and a portion of said filament yarn in a region upstream of said twister is continuously heat-set by means of a non-touch type heater maintained at a temperature in a range of from 350.degree. C. to 800.degree. C. with a processing time in range of from 0.04 second to 0.12 second, and then the heat-set portion of the yarn is detwisted in a region downstream of said twister to form a textured yarn.
