The Effects of Take-Up Nozzle and Air-Jet Pressure on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Rotor-Jet Cotton Yarns

In this research, the effects of take-up nozzle and air-jet pressure on the physical and mechanical properties of rotor-jet cotton yarns were investigated. Two types of take up nozzle namely Soft, 4-grooved were used and an air-jet nozzle (90Z) was installed on a rotor spinning machine while air pressure was adjusted in the range of 0.2-1.2 (bar). Finally 12 samples of rotor-jet spun yarns and one sample of rotor spun yarn with linear density of 20 (Tex) and Nominal twist of 943 TPM were produced. The results were then statistically analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics 20.
The results show that by using of air-jet nozzle in rotor spinning, twist, abrasion resistance, and hairiness of produced yarns were increased while yarn irregularity changes was in-significant compared to normal rotor yarn. However, by using of soft and 4-grooved nozzles, tensile strength of produced yarns especially at air pressure of 0.4 and 0.6 bar were increased.
