How much paraffin should be?
Under- or over-application of paraffin in yarn production leads to serious quality issues. The best results are achieved by applying the optimal level of paraffin.
Consequences of Excessive Paraffin Application:
- Yarns stick together on the bobbin
- Paraffin builds up in the machine
- Winding uniformity is disrupted
Consequences of Insufficient Paraffin Application:
- Friction increases
- Yarn becomes stiff and breaks
- Dust and fuzz formation increases
How Should the Paraffin Amount Be Determined?
- Should be measured by the coefficient of friction
- Should be adjusted based on machine type and speed
- Should consider the type of yarn
