7. YARN FEEDING MECHANISM:
4 Parts are taking part in Yarn changing
mechanism
• Feeder
• Solinoid
• Hook
• Spring

8. FEEDER:

9. YARN FEEDING MECHANISM:
Hook:
Hook is the parts through which comes in
contact of feeder. This really works by
spring & solenoid .
Solenoid:
Solenoid is the main things to give
selection to the feeder. When solenoid
gets magnetize then the spring goes up,
hooks comes down & feeder gets the
selection
Spring:
When spring get in upper position then
the hook comes down & Feeder is
selected

24. SPECIAL CARE FOR FLEECE
1. Polyester Floating problem
2. Brush pilling problem
3. Sinker and needle mark problem in case of Sueding and Brush .

25. POLYESTER FABRIC
1. Patta problem for different in Texturisation.
2. Tension adjust of all feeder.
3. Loop / Picking problem.
4. Sharp edge of Metal causes the floating of Filament 75D/72 F .
5. Same date polyester use at a time in a machine.
