Cross sections…
Although the eAFK allows a high fl exibility in conjunction with
components, some cross-sections have proven to be the most
suitable options for certain products and processes.
For processing of fi ne to mid or mid denier with high number of fi laments, the
V cross-section has been most successful. When processing such yarns, length
of texturing zone, suitable heating-cooling combination and friction are to be
considered. Various combinations are available using Dowtherm and HTI
heater technology.
For mid to coarse denier depending on number of fi laments and fi nal product
requirement V or M crosssection can be selected. V type is more suitable for the
mid, whereas M type is clearly more suitable for coarse denier with low number
of fi laments. When selecting the components required for such product portfolio
also the right choice of feed system has to be put into consideration.
For coarse to heavy denier the M type upper structure is the most suitable crosssection
for processing products with high denier per fi lament and total denier.
As feed system shaft with nip roller due to draw forces implemented by coarse
products has to be selected.
The eAFK is designed to process all kinds of polymers in best possible manner.
For polymers that typically do not require heat setting such as PA or PP can
similarly well processed on the following cross-sections by minor changes to the
machine: the secondary heater is being substituted with yarn guiding elements.
