VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUM TEXTURIEREN VON GARN

摘要

Continuous filaments are fed by aspiration into a stream of heated fluid. The filaments are then contacted with at least a second stream of heated fluid to increase the temperature of the filaments. The combined streams of fluid containing the filaments are directed into contact with a barrier disposed within a chamber at a force sufficient to initiate crimping of the filaments. A major portion of the fluid is separated from the filaments and expelled from the chamber. The filaments are transported through the chamber by continuous movement of a surface therein at sufficient velocity to cause overfeeding of the filaments, whereby the filaments are forced against a mass thereof and emerge from the chamber in crimped form.
