Modeling of the modified self-twist process

The article presents the technology of using an aerodynamic self-twisting method for performing the operation of crushing and torsion of finished threads at a speed of at least 200 m/min. The study of the process model showed it’s possible to significantly affect the initial twist of the components by using an asymmetric arrangement of air-jet nozzles. It is shown that the use of asymmetric AKU allows to form a self-twisting structure from the same components at a reduced (about 10 %) flow rate of compressed air.
