Air Jet Spin

Air Jet Spinning is a modern spinning technology that produces yarn using compressed air instead of a traditional spindle and traveller (as in ring spinning).
It is widely used for high-speed yarn production, especially for cotton blends and synthetic fibres.

  • Drawn sliver enters drafting unit.
  • Fibres are drafted to required thickness.
  • Fibres pass through air nozzles.
  • Compressed air creates vortex twisting.
  • Yarn is wound directly onto package.
