A stapled melt spinning method for producing nonwoven fabrics with hygroscopic metastatic feature. Firstly, fuse bio-polyamide 6,10 into melt, extrude and spin it out spin heads of extruder into filaments, cool, draw and collect filaments into tow, then extend, cut and card the filaments into the staples, and spread the staples on a conveyer to form fibrous web. Next, blend and dissolve pulp by N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) dissolving solvent, dehydrate it to form dope, and extrude and spin it out spin heads of extruder into filaments, then cool, draw and collect filaments into tow, and extend, cut and card filaments into staples, then overlay the staples over existing fibrous web to form a composite fibrous web of bio-polyamide 6,10 and cellulose filaments. Finally, coagulate, regenerate and convert fibrous composite of bio-polyamide 6,10 and natural cellulose into nonwoven fabric with hygroscopic metastatic feature by hydro-entangled needle punching, drying, winding-up processes.

The application relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a natural fiber based staple fibers. The application further relates to the staple fibers, staple fiber based raw wool and products comprising such. A method comprises providing a cellulose suspension (101, 310, 510) including water, refined cellulose fibrils and at least one rheology modifier, directing the cellulose suspension through a nozzle (102, 320, 520) onto a surface (300, 400, 500), drying the cellulose suspension onto the surface (103, 300, 400, 500) for forming a fiber (350, 550), and cutting the cellulose suspension on the surface for forming staple fibers (105).

Fibers, yarns, woven fabric including the yarns and fibers, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. Fibers can include base material staple fibers and dissolvable or water-soluble fibers. At least the base material staple fiber is mixed and cleaned to form a base material web or sliver. The clean base material web or sliver is then intimately mixed with the dissolvable fibers in a blow room to form a homogenously-mixed base material/dissolvable material sliver. The homogenously-mixed base material/dissolvable material sliver is then blended again during drawing so as to produce a twice-mixed, ultra-homogenous yarn comprising base material and dissolvable material. A processing step can allow for removal of the dissolvable fibers to produce a yarn defining a plurality of pores that are uniformly distributed throughout the structure of the yarn.

A first operating device for operation of a textile machine includes a basic mode function and an expert mode function for operation of the textile machine by a user. A switching function allows the user to switch between the basic and expert mode functions. A remote transmitting function provides for communication to a second operating device assigned to a remote textile machine so that the user at the textile machine can operate the remote textile machine in the basic or expert mode via the first and second operating devices. A remote receiving function provides for communication from the second operating device assigned to the remote textile machine so that a remote user can operate the textile machine in the basic mode or expert mode from the remote textile machine via the second and first operating devices.

Fibers, yarns, woven fabric including the yarns and fibers, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. Fibers can include base material staple fibers and dissolvable or water-soluble fibers that are mixed together to define an ultra-homogenous yarn comprising base material and dissolvable material, which is provided in at least the warp direction to form a woven fabric having a 7-end, 8-end or 10-end sateen weave. A processing step provides for the removal of the dissolvable fibers to produce a yarn defining a plurality of pores that are uniformly distributed throughout the structure of the yarn. The woven fabric has a thread count between 450-1200. The woven fabric is thermally-insulative, breathable and moisture-wicking.

Disclosed is a vehicular engine room manufacturing method wherein the engine room has excellent heat resistance and sound-absorbing characteristics, and scraps generated during the manufacturing process can be recycled. The vehicular engine room manufacturing method comprises the steps of: carding a thermoplastic fiber and a carbon fiber having a length of 10 to 150 mm and needle-punching the same, thereby forming a felt layer; applying heat and pressure to the felt layer, thereby forming a felt board; and applying heat to the felt board and shaping the same is formed in a desired shape.
