Abstract:
1. A close-couple twisting and heat-setting apparatus comprising: a high-speed twisting system for producing a twisted yarn; a tension reducing system interlaced with the high-speed twisting system, wherein the twisted yarn is directed onto the tension reducing system from the high-speed twisting system to reduce the tension in the twisted yarn; an accumulating system interfaced with the tension reducing system, wherein the twisted yarn from the tension reducing system is accumulated; and a heat-setting system interfaced with the accumulating system, wherein the twisted yarn from the accumulating system is heat-set to form a heat set twisted yarn, wherein when the operation of the high-speed twisting system is stopped, the operation of the heat-setting system continues uninterrupted; and wherein the high-speed twisting system has a twisting speed of about 10,000 to 100,000 rpm.
