The well known and proven technology of Fourné melt spintesters is especially suitable for:
 |
Testing of spinnability of polymer materials (chips or powder) |
|
Production of smallest amounts of filament yarn or fibers |
|
Production of material samples |
|
Development of new fiber materials for special applications |
For these processes all the advantages of a Fourné melt spintester become apparent, i.e.:
|
Lowest raw material demand and minimized throughput with optimum homogeneity of the melt in Fourné spinning extruders |
|
Retrofitting of side stream units for liquid or melted additives |
|
Extendable for all kinds of bi- and multi-component fiber production |
|
Optional equipment available for production of hollow fibers |
|
Reproduction of the production process in a small space |
|
One-man operation possible |
Laboratory spintesters allow tests with material throughputs between 300 g and 5 kg per hour. With pilot spinning plants throughputs from
4 kg to 50 kg per hour are possible, depending on the specification.
The standard spinning systems are designed for polymers with spinning temperatures up to approx. 350 °C, suitable for e.g. PET, PA, PP, PE.
Optionally Fourné can offer a high temperature system for spinning temperatures up to 500 °C, so that spinning of polymers like PEEK or PPS become possible.
Depending on the specification titers of 22 – 240 or 100 to 500 dtex are possible for multifilaments, comprising a capillary fineness of 0,5 to 20 dtex. For monofilaments diameters of approx. 0,01 to 0,15 mm are practicable.
Fourné melt spinning plants can be designed for different spinning processes:
|
Monofilament production |
|
POY spinning of textile yarns |
|
FDY spinning of textile yarns |
|
MOY spinning of textile yarns |
|
UDY spinning of textile yarns |
|
BCF spinning of carpet yarns |
|
Production of technical and industrial yarns |
|
Bicomponent yarns and fibers |
|
Spinning of hollow fibers |
|
Spunbond and melt blown non-wovens |
|
Spundied filament yarns and fibers with masterbatch dosing systems |
With universal spintesters it is possible to run several of these processes on a single plant.
