Twist Yarn Machines
Twist yarn machines play a vital role in the textile industry. They are used to twist and join together either two or more separate strand of yarns or to secure the single strand in the form of a continuous loop. The twisting of the yarns helps in making them strong, durable and gives them a uniformed or textured feel. This is especially helpful in use cases like sewing threads, lace, cord, ribbons and tassels.
Twist yarn machines are available in a variety of sizes and speeds, so the user has the ability to produce different types of yarns. The most common sizes are the 8/1 which is 8 twists per inch and the 12/1 which is 12 twists per inch. Generally, the 8/1 machines are suitable for light or delicate yarns while the 12/1 are more suited to producing coarse and heavier yarns. In addition, different twist angles are used depending on the end product.
To ensure the quality of the yarn is of the highest standard, twist yarn machines usually come equipped with tensioners, guide rods, brakes and load cells. Tensioners help to regulate the tension of the yarns during the twisting process, while guide rods ensure the yarns are fed in an even and balanced manner. The brakes are used to control the speed at which the yarns are twisted, which is usually consistent, and load cells measure the load exerted on the yarns throughout the twisting process.
In more recent times, many twist yarn machines are now being equipped with computerized system, which help in controlling and monitoring the twisting process but also the production of the different types of yarns. This allows for greater accuracy and precision in the yarn production, as well as greater speed.. The advanced computer systems are able to monitor the tension, speed, different twist angles and yarn combinations, as well as instantly notify the user of any defects or inconsistencies during the twisting process.
Twist yarn machines are a vital part of the textile industry. By being able to twist and join together separate strands of yarn, as well as creating a continuous loop of thread, they create strong and durable yarns that can be used for a variety of applications. Furthermore, by being able to control the tension, speed, different twist angles and yarn combinations, your end product will be of superior quality and will last for many years.
