The quality of ring spun yarns is largely determined by its level of hairiness. The existence of hairiness inevitably affects the quality of ring spun yarns. This paper presents an innovative method on lowering the level of hairiness of ring spun yarns. This can be achieved by shooting compressed air to the yarn, through a swirl nozzle comprising a yarn duct and an airjet nozzle attached to a traditional ring spin frame. When compressed air is applied from the air-jet nozzle to the yarn duct, the swirling air flow tucks surface fibers of the ring spun yarns into its body. Four controllable variable parameters for the process, supplied pressure, nozzle position, twist factor and spindle speed, and their effects on the lowering of yarn hairiness will be clarified. Their impact on the quality of the yarn is statistically analyzed, and the optimum outcome of the combination of parameters for the process, will thus be determined.
