  • System, apparatus, and method of reducing production loss having compressor
    Publication number: 20060191117
    Abstract: A yarn texturizing system, apparatus, and methods of reducing production loss or increasing production speed in a continuous textured yarn production process are provided. The system includes a yarn texturizer to texturize yarn, a chute positioned to receive and guide the texturized yarn in the form of a bundle of texturized yarn from the yarn texturizer, a yarn compressor positioned to compress the texturized yarn against an upper surface of the chute at least after being initially received from the yarn texturizer, and a yarn conveyor positioned to convey the compressed texturized yarn.
