End splicing is necessary to ensure continuity in the production of yarn from staple fibres. This process is essential for maintaining the integrity and quality of yarns during manufacturing and subsequent usage in textile products. For this purpose, the influence of various splicing variables on yarn splicing efficiency was analysed, and several splicing methods were compared. The article focuses on identifying optimal splicing parameters to improve the performance of spliced yarns. The research investigates several splicing variables such as overlap length, blast duration and splicing time for the pneumatic splicing method, and untwisting time, drafting and retwisting time for the mechanical splicing method to join the yarn (100 tex) ends. The performance of the yarns was assessed based on retained splice elongation (RSE) and retained splice strength (RSS). Statistical analysis was performed to determine the significance of variations in splicing variables. The results indicated that both RSE and RSS increased when the value of the splicing variables (parameters) increased for each method. The research found that variations in splicing variables significantly impact the characteristics of the spliced yarn. The study contributes significant insights into optimizing splicing techniques to improve yarn performance in the spinning industry.

• Title: Primerjava učinkovitosti različnih metod spajanja koncev predivne preje v odvisnosti od različnih parametrov spajanja

Abstract

Pri proizvodnji preje iz kratkih vlaken je treba za zagotavljanje neprekinjenosti preje spojiti konca pretrgane preje. Postopek je nujen za ohranjanje celovitosti in kakovosti preje med proizvodnjo in nadaljnjo uporabo v tekstilnih izdelkih. Namen raziskave je bil analizirati različne vplivne parametre na učinkovitost spajanja preje. Primerjanih je bilo več metod spajanja. Članek se osredinja na prepoznavanje optimalnih parametrov spajanja za izboljšanje kakovosti spojenih prej, kot so dolžina prekrivanja, trajanje pihanja in čas spajanja za pnevmatsko metodo spajanja in čas odvijanja, napenjanja in ponovnega sukanja za mehansko metodo spajanja za spajanje koncev preje s finočo 100 tex. Učinkovitost spajanja je bila ocenjena na podlagi ohranjenega raztezka (RSE) in trdnosti (RSS) spoja. S statistično analizo je bil ugotovljen vpliv parametrov spajanja. Pokazalo se je, da sta se pri ob zvišanju vrednosti parametrov spajanja pri obeh metodah spajanja povečala RSE in RSS. V raziskavi je bilo dokazano, da obravnavani parametri spajanja pomembno vplivajo na lastnosti spojene preje. Raziskava podaja pomemben vpogled v optimizacijo tehnik spajanja v predilnicah za izboljšanje kakovosti prej iz kratkih vlaken.
