Manufacturing nylon fibers and nylon
yarns, as explained in the following:
Polycondensation
This is a chemical process to produce
the nylon polymer using caprolactum and acetic acid.
Chipping
The nylon rope produced from the
polymerization process is cut into chips.
Melting
In this stage nylon chips are melted to
reach the viscosity suitable for pumping to the spinning process.
Spinning
In this process, molten nylon is pumped
to spinnerettes, and the polymer streams coming out are cooled by blown air
that let the polymer solidifies and form continuous nylon filament.
Drawing and twisting
The nylon yarn produced in the previous
process is subjected to stretch, is given twist and is
