The document discusses core spun yarns. Core spun yarns consist of a central core made of filament, elastane or staple fibers wrapped by a sheath of staple fibers. They can be produced using various spinning methods like ring spinning, rotor spinning, air jet spinning or friction spinning. Core spun yarns have applications as sewing threads and stretch fabrics due to properties derived from the core material. Production parameters like heater temperature and stretch ratio impact properties of core spun yarns like shrinkage and tenacity. Bulked acrylic yarns use a blend of relaxed and unrelaxed fibers to create bulk through fiber shrinkage upon heating after spinning.
3. The core spun yarns
The core spun yarn consists of central core made
up of a filament or elastane or bundle of staple
fibers covered or wrapped by a sheath of staple
fibers. They are unique in yarn structure and
specific applications.

6. Core spun yarn production by
rotor spinning
To increase the twist efficiency, a
copper flange was soldered to the
inner end of the doffing tube. The
doffing tube was mounted on a ball
bearing, rotated by a separate drive
opposite to the rotation of the rotor
with a speed ratio of 1:9. The rotating
doffing tube inserts a false twist and
pushes twist back to the peel off point.
Twist efficiency and pre- tension of
filament are the influencing factors
in core spinning.

The yarn retains almost all the strength
contributed by the core component since the
core is not twisted during spinning
The core yarns span on the rotor spinner have
the ff advantages over these spun on the ring
spinner

contributed by the core component since the
core is not twisted during spinning
The evenness of rotor spun core yarns
are expected to be better than the
equivalent ring spun core yarns.
8. The rotor spun core yarns are
bulkier as compared to their ring
spun counter parts. The direct
winding of core yarn on the rotor
spinner eliminate re winding process
as necessary for the ring spun core
yarns.

13. CONVERSION OF TOW TO SLIVER
tow is a collection of
approximately 300,000 continuous
man-made fiber filaments kept in
a parallel, untwisted form. To
convert tows into a sliver, the
individual filaments must be cut
or broken collectively into staple
fibers of a specified length.

The physical properties of the fibre are
modified by stretch breaking and this
feature is exploited in the production of
bulked acrylic yarns.
The cutting method does not alter the
fiber characteristics such as strength,
extensibility, or shrinkage, and positive
control may be exercised over both the
mean and variation of fibre length.

16. CUTTING CONVERTERS
A cutter converter basically comprises a feed creel, a
cutting unit, a sliver-forming section, a crimping unit,
and a sliver can delivery. As supplied by the fiber
manufacturer, the tows are within the range of 10 to 60
ktex, depending on fiber type, and are packaged in
plaited form into boxes

17. STRETCH-BREAKING CONVERTERS
These converters use the idea of extending, in a
controlled manner, synthetic filaments to their
breaking strain, polyester and acrylic tow being the
principal raw materials. When heat treated, the
broken lengths of stretched filaments can be made to
readily shrink to produce a highly bulked yarn.

22. Bulked acrylic yarn production
A blend of pre relaxed and un relaxed fibers
is drawn and spun before being subjected to
heat treatment. This cause the un relaxed
fibers to shrink so that the yarn contracts in
length. At the same time the pre relaxed
fibers buckle and produce a considerable
increase in yarn bulk.
Maximum yarn bulk is obtained with about
40% un relaxed fiber.

25. Final yarn shrinkage
After spinning and yarn folding have been
completed it is usually to subject the yarn to
a heat treatment which causes the un
relaxed fibers to shrink and therefore the
bulk to develop by buckling the pre relaxed
fibers.
For normal bulked acrylic yarns, yarn
shrinkage after spinning is usually about
22% but fiber which shrinks about 26% can
be used to produce super bulk yarns.
