Abstract:
The invention relates to a cable cleaning and lubricating system comprising a chamber (5) adapted to surround a section of a cable (4) to be cleaned and to be displaced relative to the cable (4), nozzles (7) within the chamber (5) for directing jets of relatively high pressure cleaning liquid onto the surface of the cable (4), sealing means (6) at both ends of the chamber (5) and adapted to contact the cable (4), the chamber (5) being provided with an outlet (10) which is in communication with a vacuum pump for reducing the pressure in the chamber (5) to a value below atmospheric pressure. The invention relates furthermore to the use of this system for cleaning and lubricating a cable (FIG. 1).
Abstract:
A cable cleaning unit comprising a chamber adapted to surround a section of the cable to be cleaned, a plurality of outlets located within the chamber through which jets of high pressure fluid are directed onto the surface of the cable and mechanism for withdrawing fluid from the chamber.
Abstract:
A method for reducing broken fibers on the surface of a carbon fiber bundle involves passing the yarn past a suction nozzle having an extended trailing edge which impacts the broken fibers as they pass the slot breaking off the fibers. The broken fibers are transported to a disposal station. The differential in elevation of the leading and trailing edges of the intake slot of the nozzle provide an exposed impacting edge.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining environmentally-friendly, sustainable, and biodegradable yarns by subjecting the PLA (polylactic acid), which is used in many different sectors such as the food packaging industry, health and medical industry, construction industry, cosmetic industry, and textile industry, to a variety of procedure steps with the open-end method, and a new fabric to be used in the textile sector thanks to the weaving of the said yarns.
Abstract:
An apparatus for processing yarns includes a first roller set for extending yarn bean; a node generator installed after the first roller set for forming node section of the yarn beam; a first cleaning chamber installed after the node generator for cleaning the yarn beams; a material chamber for adding additive to the yarn beam; a second roller set installed after the material chamber for extending the yarn beam; a first heating chamber installed after the second roller set for thermally setting additives to the yarn beam so that the additives are firmly secured to the yarn of the yarn beam; a third roller set installed after the heating chamber for controlling the heating time of the yarn beam in the first heating chamber; and a fourth roller set installed after the third roller set for winding the yarn beam to a desired shape.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for removing broken filaments from a continuous filament tow (60) traveling at a tow velocity between a source and a collector. The tow (60) is contacted with a rotatable, cylindrical roller (13), having an axis of rotation and an outer surface, located in the path of travel by the tow from the source to the collector. The axis of rotation is oriented generally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the tow (60). The roller (13) rotates in a direction counter to the direction of travel of the tow (60) to lift broken fibers from the tow. The lifted broken fibers are entrained in an airflow created by a tubular vacuum header (12) to remove the broken fibers from the tow.
Abstract:
A method of modifying surface characteristics, such as hairiness, and trash content by passing a spun yarn through an air jet nozzle. Data show reduced hairiness and improved cleanliness over normally wound yarn.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a single-piece, ceramic thread cleaner having a crotch and a slot. The thread cleaner's body is pressed to the final dimensions and a slot with polished surfaces is cut into the body using a diamond cut-off saw. The benefits provided by this threadcleaner are simple design, easy manufacturing, high slot width accuracy, dimensional stability of the slot over a long period of time, increased wear resistance compared to thread cleaners made of metal, and easy installation in a textile machine.
