Abstract

This paper reports the development of a novel and innovative air-jet texturing + twisting (AJT2) technology and elaborates on the potentials of this new technology in the field of technical textiles. The novel technology on-line combines the air-jet texturing operation with the twisting operation. Additionally there is a hot drawing unit for orientation of POY (Partially Oriented Yarn) supply. The principles of this new technology and the prototype machine designed and manufactured to realize this technology are explained in this paper. Since the air-jet texturing is the only process to texturise the non thermoplastic, especially glass, carbon and metallic fibers, this new technology has the unique features of combining these fibers to create composite fibers for technical applications.
