Abstract:
A method for winding a mineral fiber strand to build a package comprising the steps of:providing a moving strand;applying a size to the strand;attaching the strand to a collet;rotating the collet to wind the strand and build a package of the strand;reciprocating the strand with a strand reciprocator to lay the strand in a pattern on a package surface as the package rotates during building;generating a fog of airborne lubrication particles from a lubricant; andlubricating the strand reciprocator by transferring a portion of the fog of airborne lubrication particles to the strand reciprocator, wherein the lubricant is one of a self-emulsifying lubricant, an organic, agriculturally based lubricant, a bisimid, and a reaction product of polyethyleneimine polyamide salt and water.
