Stretch-Breaking Process Analytically Studied

Abstract

The purpose of this instalment is to obtain fundamental data on the staple length, sliver thickness and stretch-breaking force of the Turbo Stapler and devise methods to analyze them.

Study on the processing of stretch-broken ramie yarns in a cotton spinning system

“…[5][6][7][8] Stretch-breaking was originally developed to convert continuous filament to staple fiber and was first used in manmade fiber processing. [9][10][11][12][13] The continuous filament is fed into the stretch-breaking machine composed of several pairs of rollers, by which the continuous filament is stretch-broken into the tops with the desired fiber length. Ramie fibers can also be stretch-broken in this way, because the average fiber length of ramie is too long and the variation of fiber length is too huge, which seriously impedes the process and the resultant yarn quality, especially the appearance and hairiness of conventional ramie yarn.…”
