Since its introduction in 1980, air jet spinning has offered yarn manufacturers the opportunity to produce yarn at relatively high production rates. Unlike other spinning methods in which productivity is limited by the amount of twist in the yarn, air jet yarns, in general, can be produced at the same production rate regardless of yarn counts. Vortex spinning machines excel at producing finer yarns (Ne 40/1-60/1), because of the improved strength imparted to the smaller fiber bundle.
