INTRODUCTION
Textile market is becoming sensitive buyer buyers market. Weaver is demanding dimensioned quality with consistency from spinners. Therefore in order to satisfy these demands without altering the raw material the concept of YARN CONDITIONING PLANT came into picture to supply the yarn with increased strength,

Elongations, reduced snarling of yarn, improved working at post spinning processes like weaving, knitting, etc. Yarn conditioning reduces invisible loss to the spinners. XORELLA CONDITIONING PLANT gives us even penetration of steam into all the layers of yarns on cone & ensures even conditioning effect throughout the package.

Present Demand


 

In these days there is a dramatic change in the production level of weaving and knitting machines, because of the sophisticated manufacturing techniques. Yarn quality required to run on these machines is extremely high. In order to satisfy these demands without altering the raw material, it was decided to make use of the physical properties inherent in the cotton fibres.

Moisture in atmosphere has a great impact on the physical properties of textile fibres and yarns . A high degree of moisture improves the physical properties of yarn. Moreover it helps the yarn to attain the standard moisture regain value of the fibre. Yarns sold with lower moisture content than the standard value will result in monetary loss.

Why conditioning is required?

Conventional Steaming Treatment



Cotton fibre is hygroscopic material and has the ability to absorb water in the form of steam. The standard conventional steaming treatment for yarn is chiefly used to avoid snarling in further processing.

It does not result in lasting improvement in yarn quality. The steaming process may fail to ensure even distribution of the moisture, especially on cross-wound crossbobbins cheeses) with medium to high compactness.

XORELLA CONDITIONING PROCESS

 

Thermal conditioning uses lowlowtemperature saturated steam in vacuum. The vacuum first removes the air packets from the yarn package to ensure accelerated steam penetration and also removes the atmospheric oxygen in order to prevent oxidation.

The yarn is uniformly moistened by the gas.

The great advantage of this process is that the moisture in the form of gas is very finely distributed throughout the yarn package and does not cling to the yarn in the form of drops.

Working principle
It works on the principle of conditioning the yarn in vacuum by low temperature steam.

ADVANTAGES OF XORELLASS PROCESS

  

  

It is mainly used for setting twist . Saturated steam through out the process. Even penetration of steam and distribution of moister. Lowest energy consumption. Short process time. Absolute saturated steam atmosphere of 500C to 1500C.
18

 

No additional boiler required, the steam is generated in the system. Minimum energy consumption (approx. 25 kwh for 1000 kg of yarn). Treatment of all natural yarns, blends, synthetics and microfibre yarns. Low installation and maintenance cost. Standardize sizes.

19

No contamination of the treated packages. Energy recovery option offered by indirect heating system using steam or hot water. No special location required, the systems can be operated next to the production machines.

Benefits For Knitting



The treatment temperature for knitting yarn is held below the melting point of the wax. Temperatures for unwaxed yarn are coordinated to the compatibility for each individual type of yarn. Upto 20% greater efficiency due to a reduction in the unwinding tension. Fewer needle breaks.
21

Uniform moisture content and friction values. Regular stitch formation. No change in size of finished articles. No extra dampening required. Less fly hence less problems. It helps if the yarn is running on a closer gauge machines.
22

Benefits for Weaving:

 

 

Upto 15% fewer yarn breaks due to greater elongation. Less fly, resulting in a better weaving quality. Increased strength. Softer fabrics.

FOR DYEING:


No streaks Better dye affinity
