How Does the Yarn Production Process Work? Step-by-Step Production Stages

1. Feeding (Use of POY)

The process generally starts with feeding the machine with the raw material known as POY (Partially Oriented Yarn). This yarn has not yet gained full strength and has a shiny, smooth structure.

2. Heat Treatment and Drawing (False Twist)

This stage is the heart of production. While the yarn rotates at high speed, it undergoes two main processes:

Heating: The yarn is softened as it passes through tunnel-shaped heaters.
Drawing: The yarn is drawn at a specific ratio to gain its physical properties (strength).

3. Texturing (Crimping)

As the yarn passes over friction discs, it is twisted at high speed. Under the effect of heat, this twisted form is set into the yarn. When the yarn cools, even if it is untwisted, it returns to its original crimped and bulky structure. This process gives the yarn its well-known "texture" (textured) structure.

4. Intermingling

In order for the textured filaments to stay together and to facilitate subsequent processes (weaving or knitting), the yarn is intermingled at certain intervals using an air jet. This is called intermingled yarn. Depending on requirements, "low intermingling" or "high intermingling" production can be carried out.

5. Winding and Quality Control

In the final stage, the yarns are precisely wound onto paper or plastic tubes (bobbins). Each bobbin coming off the production line is checked according to the following criteria:

Count (Denier) control
Strength and elasticity testing
Oil content (finish oil applied to ensure smooth running of the yarn on machines)

Why Texture Polyester?

Bulky: Adds fullness to the fabric.
Elastic: Adapts to body movements.
Moisture Management: Quickly wicks moisture away, making it indispensable for sportswear.
