Abstract

Abstract The lattice apron-based compact spinning system is a form of pneumatic compact spinning that employs airflow to condense fibres into a bundle, enhancing the yarn’s attributes. To explore the airflow dynamics in pneumatic compact spinning, researchers primarily employ traditional theoretical approaches, experimental measurement techniques, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. In our previous research, we utilized CFD to observe the airflow patterns in pneumatic compact spinning. In this study, we implemented experimental measurement techniques to assess the impact of a 3D-printed guiding device (B-type) on yarn properties. We tested different fibre types in the condensing zone of the compact spinning system with a lattice apron. We used three types of roving to spin the yarn: pure cotton, cotton/polyester (80/20), and polyester/viscose (65/35). The findings revealed that yarns spun using the guiding device exhibited superior strength, hairiness, and evenness compared to those spun without the device.
