Abstract:

The objective of this research work was to investigate the use of water in order to replace air in the production of spun-like textured yarn. An existing air-jet texturing machine was modified to supply either air or water to the texturing nozzle. A new texturing-jet was designed and developed to produce spun-like textured yarn using water. The texturing jet was further improved by incorporating capillary effect to suck air with water into the texturing zone to improve turbulence in the jet. The results show that water can be used to manufacture spun-like textured yarns.
