Operating PrincipleOperating PrincipleOperating PrincipleOperating PrincipleYarn is formed by an airYarn is formed by an air--yyvortex in a tubevortex in a tube
Air is sucked into the tube Air is sucked into the tube Air is sucked into the tube Air is sucked into the tube through tangential slotsthrough tangential slots
The air moves upward along The air moves upward along the tube wall in spiral and the tube wall in spiral and finally arrives at the upper finally arrives at the upper y ppy pptube seal (3)tube seal (3)
Air returns down into the Air returns down into the Air returns down into the Air returns down into the central of tube as the tube central of tube as the tube exist is sealedexist is sealed
Operating PrincipleOperating PrincipleOperating PrincipleOperating PrincipleOpened fibre material is allowed to Opened fibre material is allowed to enter the system through an enter the system through an enter the system through an enter the system through an openingopeningTo form a yarn, an open yarn end is To form a yarn, an open yarn end is introduces into the tube through a introduces into the tube through a Air-vortex introduces into the tube through a introduces into the tube through a passage at upper seal (3)passage at upper seal (3)The vortex grasp this yarn end and The vortex grasp this yarn end and whirls it round in circles in same way whirls it round in circles in same way whirls it round in circles in same way whirls it round in circles in same way as the fibresas the fibres
Since the upper yarn end is nipped Since the upper yarn end is nipped Since the upper yarn end is nipped Since the upper yarn end is nipped in withdrawal rollers and the lower in withdrawal rollers and the lower yarn end is in rotation, each yarn end is in rotation, each revolution of the yarn in the vortex revolution of the yarn in the vortex revolution of the yarn in the vortex revolution of the yarn in the vortex inserts one turn of twist into the inserts one turn of twist into the yarnyarn
