Abstract :
The 2-for 1 twister produces higher quality yarn in about half the time and with a third the power required by conventional machines. The use of electric machinery reduces the number of rejections of finished fabrics necessary because of dirty yarn and increases the uniformity of twist in the yarn. Power consumption and quality of product are independent of the size of the supply package and the amount of yarn on the take-up spool.
