Air jet spinning. A critical review

Abstract

Japan is, of course, the Home of Air Jet spinning. As with most of the new spinning technologies, Air Jet, though appeared first in 1982 took some time to get acceptance in the industry. Recently many progressive mills are going in for this revolutionary technology. There is a need to explore Air Jet not only at the place of manufacturing, but at academic institutions, research and factories. This is needed to keep/make the Air Jet competitive in future. This paper tries to fulfil the above objective patry by presenting a critical review of some of the technological aspects based on literature available and rising pertinent questions for further exploration.
