Solution to the problem

Index

To overcome this deficiency in the yarn formation process, Rieter pioneered the development of a compact spinning system, the so-called ComforSpin system. The working principle and the advantages of compact spinning will be explained below on the basis of the ComforSpin system. Fiber flow is laterally condensed by gentle aerodynamic forces in an aerodynamic condensing zone between the drafting unit and the yarn formation point. The effect of this procedure is shown schematically on the right in Fig. 72. The fiber flow reaching the spinning triangle is so narrow that the spinning triangle shrinks to almost zero and thus all fibers are caught by the  spinning triangle and fully integrated into the yarn structure. This enables perfect yarn formation to be achieved.
