Spinning line is composed of a carding machine, a miniature drawframe & mini ring spinning lab
Production of yarn prototypes by ring spinning
First yarn prototypes on the CTT laboratory spinning line
This state-of-the-art equipment is versatile and gives us the opportunity to work for different applications :
- Evaluation of the capacity to use recycled fibers from shredding processes
- Recycling post production or post consumer textiles is one of the tools for waste management and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/) . This equipment will give the opportunity to industrial partners to evaluate the feasibility of yarn using these types of recycled fibers.
- Evaluation of yarn spinning with natural fibers
- With a growing demand for natural fibers and project to explore potentials with such fibers, there is a need to evaluate the possibility of yarn processing. This equipment will help manufacturers for proof of concepts, optimisation of yarn, and much more.
- Evaluation of fiber blends properties
- One step ahead : testing a new blend of fiber to reduce raw materials cost, carbon footprint, simplify your supply chain.
The equipment is made of 3 modules :
- Laboratory carding machine
- Miniature drawframe
- Mini ring spinning lab
Additional prototypes such as woven and knitted materials is also available to complete industry project. Our prototyping capacities.
Once the yarn is produced (or a fabric), a performance testing is available at CTT.
