This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a lyocell material for a cigarette filter, including (S1) spinning a lyocell spinning dope composed of 8 to 13 wt % of a cellulose pulp and 87 to 92 wt % of an N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) aqueous solution; (S2) coagulating the lyocell spinning dope spun in (S1), thus obtaining a lyocell multifilament; (S3) water-washing the lyocell multifilament obtained in (S2); (S4) oiling the lyocell multifilament water-washed in (S3); and (S5) applying steam and pressure to the lyocell multifilament obtained in (S4), thus obtaining a crimped tow having 30 to 40 crimps per inch.

A lyocell material for a cigarette filter and a method of manufacturing the same are disclose. The lyocell material which is biodegradable and eco-friendly can be manufactured by crimping lyocell multifilaments to obtain a crimped tow.

Wool-like, synthetic multifilament yarns may be produced with a plurality of primary yarns and at least one secondary yarn. Generally, the primary yarn and secondary yarn may be produced from polyamides. The wool-like multifilament yarns may be produced by: (1) melt-spinning the primary yarns and the secondary yarn; (2) drawing and texturizing the primary yarns and the secondary yarns; (3) entangling the texturized primary yarns and the texturized secondary yarn to form the inventive yarn; (4) optionally subjecting the inventive yarn to heat-setting or heat annealing; and (5) winding the yarn onto a package for distribution. The multifilament yarns may be used to produce floorcoverings.

The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for crimping a sheet of material (6), the apparatus comprising: a first (9) and a second (10) facing crimping rollers defining a first (1) and a second (22) rotational axis, respectively, the first and second axis being parallel to each other, wherein at least one of the first and second crimping roller includes a plurality of corrugations; an angle changing device, the angle changing device being adapted to change a crimping angle (11) formed between a fixed reference plane (12) and a movable plane (13) containing the first and the second rotational axis.

The invention focuses on a molded part (12) for a nozzle core (60) for stuffer-box crimping of threads. The molded part includes a ceramic body (121) with a planar surface (122). Receiving contours (124) for receiving fastening means (50) are arranged in the planar surface (122). The receiving contours (124) are open in the lateral direction.

A tow band (TB) for use in a cigarette filter is a tow band in which a plurality of filaments (F) made of cellulose acetate fibers are bundled together and crimped. In the tow band, a filament denier is not less than 6.0 and not more than 11.0, a total denier is not less than 5,000 and not more than 15,000, and a Cv value of the number of crimps of the tow band is not more than 4%.
