Fiber Fly Generation of 100% Acrylic Yarns during Weaving

摘要

Abstract At textile mills, the fiber fly generation is a big concern almost at every stages of the production including knitting and weaving operations. Therefore, it is not a surprise that the fiber fly generation is still getting the attention of many workers for decades for either production efficiencies or for health reasons. In this study, the fiber fly generation during the blanket weaving has been studied. Among all of fiber properties, the fiber mean length has the greatest effects on the amount of the fiber fly generated during the weaving processes. Additionally, loom speed and package conicity have also a significant effect on the fiber fly generations during the weaving of blanket fabrics. It was found that the open end yarns with high twist coefficients were generating the minimum amount of the fiber fly during the weaving while the woolen yarns were giving the higher fiber fly generation during the blanket weaving processes.
