Air spinning
The air spinning machine is a type of spinning machine used in the textile industry to produce yarn from fibers such as cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. The machine uses compressed air to twist and bind the fibers together into yarn by blowing them trout a special design jet.
At first the fibers will be opened and separated by a series of rollers. The separated fibers are then drawn through the compressed air jet, which creates a vortex that twists the fibers together and binds them into a continuous yarn. The yarn is then wound onto a package, which can be further processed into finished textiles.
Air spinning machines are known for their high production rate and efficiency, making them a popular choice for producing yarn in large quantities. They are also capable of producing yarns with unique characteristics, such as high bulkiness and low hairiness. However, the yarn produced by air spinning machines is typically of lower quality than that produced by ring spinning, with less strength and durability. Therefore, air spinning machines are often used to produce simple yarns for applications such as upholstery, non-woven fabrics, and the big growing market of active wear.
