Effect of Jet Pressure on the Properties of Cotton MVS Spun Yarns

Murata vortex spinning (MVS), based on the air jet spinning technology by the Murata Machinery Company has captured the attentions as accepted as one of the most promising new spinning methods. Unfortu- nately, there is limited study available on this relatively new technology. Most of the information about the MVS system have been made by the machinery maker. The present study focuses on the effect of nozzle pressure on the properties of carded and combed MVS yarns. Our findings show that the nozzle pressure, the producing line (carded, combed) and the interactions of these two factors have significant effects on the properties of MVS yarns.
