Successful Splicing

B y P S Vi s h w an at h

The success of splicing is measured in terms of Splice pass rate & splice fail rate. The splice pass rate in turn depends on many factors which are given below as a measure to make splicing a successful feature,

θ

Use of plastic adapter / end cap with POY. The end cap under any condition should have a smooth edge.

θ

Under any condition, transit damage POY or POY having edge damaged should not be loaded for splicing.

θ

Proper alignment of ceramic guide in the creel with the centre of POY Paper tube. Both should be in parallel. After alignment, the creel should not be disturbed.

θ

Use of good splicer with sufficient air blast so as to have good joint strength & the splice knot should be made as small as possible by possibly cutting off the loosely hanged yarn.

θ

After splicing is over, the joint should be in the air. Spliced yarn should not touch any part of the creel & also the yarn should not be hanged too loosely. This is the utmost importance measure one must take to have good splicing rate.

θ

Filamentation of splice portion of yarn should be avoided by not over stretching the yarn.

θ

Left over bunch in POY Paper tube after splicing should be taken off.

θ

At the time of splicing, creel movements should be avoided.

θ

Always it is desirable not to have air conditioned duct right above the POY creel in DTY machine to avoid filament / yarn straying.

θ

Wherever possible put splice mat on the separator string.
