The ANDAR Twistset package to package setting system takes yarn (singles or folded) from the spinning or twister bobbins and coils it into a blanket, which is then passed through a series of baths where it is scoured, chemically set, rinsed and finally insect proofed. It is then dried, still in the form of a continuous coiled blanket and the separate ends unwound from the coil and wound onto packages ready for the tufting creel.
The labour intensive steps of hanking, handling individual hanks through the scouring, setting and drying stages and back winding are all avoided, providing appreciable economical advantages. In addition, the uniform density and feed rate of the coiled blanket makes the wet processing and drying steps easy to control, giving uniformity of treatment, residual levels, regain and colour in the finished yarn.

  • Variability and stripes eliminated
  • Uniformity of treatment for very large batches of yarn
  • Enhanced tuft pile definition
  • Repeatable batch processing
  • A wide range of yarn types and sizes can be processed
  • Yarn can be set straight eliminating tip curl in cut pile carpet
