How to handle wrinkles or entanglements in acrylic yarn?

Acrylic yarn, also known as polypropylene yarn, is a kind of yarn material made of Synthetic fiber. Its fineness and tensile strength are very high, so it is widely used in textile, clothing and other industries. However, with the production and use of yarn, acrylic yarn may also experience problems such as wrinkles or entanglements, which affect its quality and effectiveness. This article will introduce how to handle wrinkles or entanglements in acrylic yarn to improve its quality and service life.

1、 Wrinkle treatment method

There are many reasons for the wrinkling of acrylic yarn, which may be due to insufficient elasticity, uneven tension, or overfilled reels. Here are some common handling methods:

Adjusting yarn tension

Yarn needs to maintain a certain tension during production and use to ensure its quality and stability. If the yarn tension is insufficient, wrinkles are prone to occur, so the tension can be adjusted to reach an appropriate level.

Replace with an appropriately sized yarn receiver

Overfilling the yarn collection tube is also one of the reasons for wrinkles, so it is necessary to use a suitable size of yarn collection tube to avoid excessive yarn storage and wrinkles.

Shorten yarn storage time

Acrylic yarn is prone to wrinkles during storage for too long. Therefore, if storing the yarn, it is recommended to use it as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of wrinkles.

Strengthen the yarn finishing process

In the process of yarn production, the finishing process should be strengthened to ensure that the yarn is clean and orderly, and any loose parts should be trimmed to maintain its flatness.

2、 Entanglement handling method

Entanglement is one of the common problems in yarn production and use, which may be caused by yarn separation, breakage, or uneven spinning. Here are some common handling methods:

Adjusting tension

Excessive or insufficient yarn tension can lead to yarn entanglement, so it is necessary to adjust the tension of the yarn to an appropriate level. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the stability of yarn tension to avoid instability during production and use.

Clean yarn thread head

The dust and impurities on the yarn head can easily cause entanglement, so it is necessary to keep the yarn head clean to ensure smoothness and prevent entanglement issues.

Reduce spinning machine speed

If the yarn production speed is too fast, it may also cause yarn entanglement. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the spinning machine appropriately to ensure the quality and stability of the yarn.

Strengthen yarn twist

If the twist of the yarn is too small, it is easy to cause entanglement. Therefore, it can be considered to strengthen the twist of the yarn to increase its stability and yarn count.

In short, targeted solutions are needed to address the issue of wrinkles or entanglements in acrylic yarn. If acrylic yarn manufacturers cannot handle it in a timely manner, it will not only affect production efficiency and cost control, but also reduce product quality and market competitiveness. Therefore, it is recommended that yarn production enterprises and users strengthen the solution and prevention of acrylic yarn defects to ensure the quality and stability of their polypropylene yarn.
