Airflow Component
Twin spinning zones use high-speed air currents to twist fibers into a cohesive yarn structure without a physical traveler. Dual vortex chamber technology allows for higher production speeds in linen mills while reducing the hairiness of the resulting thread. The first chamber gathers the fibers while the second applies the final twist to the surface of the yarn.
Twist Mechanism
Control of the air pressure within these zones is essential for maintaining the consistency of the linen yarn. Surface fibers are wrapped around a parallel core of flax to create a structure that is both strong and smooth. This method of yarn formation is particularly effective for bast fibers which are often difficult to process on traditional ring spinning frames.
The resulting yarn has a distinctive look that is highly valued for modern apparel.
Yarn Quality
Reduced hairiness and improved pilling resistance are the primary benefits of using this air-jet spinning method. Because the dual vortex chamber handles the fibers at such high speeds, the production cost per kilogram is lower than traditional methods. Chinese mills have adopted this technology to produce large volumes of mid-grade linen for the global market.
Final fabric quality is enhanced by the uniformity and cleanliness of the vortex-spun yarns.
