  • the filaments were pulled down through a one floor high interfloor tube (part of a 3 floor machine) to a Neumag spinning machine. At the bottom of the interfloor tube the two sets of 68 filaments were converged using finish applicators.
  • the contact width of the upper applicators was 5 mm and the lower reversed finish applicators were 2 mm.
  • Two 4 stream 0.8 cm3/rev finish pumps set at 40 rpm pumped P-7050T18 % Fiber Solutions finish to the finish applicators.
  • the threadlines were led onto an inlet godet with a surface speed of 2390 m/min. Then, onto a metering godet duo set at 40° C. with a surface speed of 2400 m/min.
  • the filaments were drawn in space with no assist by advancing to a set of enclosed heated duos set at 165° C. with a surface speed of 4100 m/min.
  • the filaments were heated by the godets fed into a Neumag texturing chamber that had a lamella cone of 3/4.5 mm and length of 80 mm. 18 lamella pieces formed the cone. Hot air set at 7.5 bar and 225° C. impinged on the yarn bundles.
  • the lamella exhaust cone had a vacuum setting of ⁇ 95 m/bar.
  • the textured or bulked yarn flowed out of the bottom of the chamber and piddled onto a cooling drum with a surface speed of 65 m/min.
  • the cooled threadlines were removed from the cooling drum with a godet with a surface speed of 3300 m/min. From the godet the threadlines went through a tacking or intermingling box that had an air jet with a yoke width and diameter of 6 mm. The threadlines were impinged with an air pressure of 7.0 bar. The correct tension was control by an exit godet with a surface speed of 3340 m/min. This godet isolated the winding tension from the required tacking tension.
  • the threadlines were led to a two-cot winder that took a tube diameter of 79 mm.
  • the drive roll or pressure roll (set at 100 N) surface speed was 3305 m/min., which produces a winding tension of around 150 grams.
  • the traversing stroke was 250 mm and was run at speed to produce a 13-degree winding angle.
  • the traversing mechanism was modulated with an amplitude of 0.1% at 0.1/ second.
  • the final package diameter was 215 mm producing a package weight of 5.1 kilograms.
