Product Information: Vortex Spinning & Yarns

Vortex Spinning is best judged as a development of jet spinning specifically created to

overcome the limitations of fiber type. The major marketing feature of Vortex Spinning was
that it was capable of spinning uncombed cotton slivers into acceptable yarns at speeds that
were significantly higher than with any other system.

An innovative air-vortex/air-jet spinning machine manufactured by MURATEC - Murata

Machinery is named VORTEX, and the yarn produced on this machine is also called VORTEX
yarn.
It is a spinning mechanism that uses the vortex airflow, which forms a yarn by converging
an end of fibers toward the center of the yarn, and making the other end of fibers winding
other fibers.

 Features
 Even though it is claimed that MVS is capable of processing 100-percent cotton, it is
believed that the major use of this system is in the processing of cotton-rich blends
with polyester.
 There are fewer knots in Vortex yarn which is an added advantage
 Feel of Vortex yarn is crisp as compared to ring yarn.
 The yarn structure is different from jet-spun yarn with many more wrapper fibers,
and in parts the vortex yarn resembles a two-fold yarn.

This unique features and different yarn structure from ring spinning offers it’s yarn some
exceptional properties which makes fabric can be used in high end applications.

Owing to this unique character vortex yarn has some very good properties and achieves an
edge over other yarns. Some properties are listed hereby.

 Less hairiness
Vortex yarn has less hairiness as compared to any spun yarn. This gives it an advantage to
be used in sports and inner wear market extensively.

Vortex yarn also reduces lint shedding. This enables reduction at post spinning processes,
and extends durability of garments despite repeated laundering.

 Resistance to pilling

Pilling is the phenomena wherein fibers interwinded by friction produce fluff balls on cloth
surface. Vortex structurally being less hairiness significantly restrains the occurrence of
pilling. Another reason is that Vortex yarn has durability against friction. MVS yarns achieve
a pilling grade of 3-4 on scale of 5 which out performs ring spun yarn which has 2-3.

 Moisture absorption & Wash resistance

The VORTEX yarn enjoys high reputation among towel manufacturers for its durability and
yarn bulkiness. It has property of more water absorption then ring spun towels. Moreover it
retains resistance to its structure after several washes.

 Stability during deformation

Despite repeated washing and drying, the vortex yarn significantly reduces lint shedding.
This advantage derives from yarn structure itself having less fluffs and firmly retaining
fabrics inside.

 Applications

Applications for MVS yarns are growing, as well. Initial use focused on fleece and 100%
cotton and cotton-rich sheeting.
Now days it is extensively used in the areas of

 Sportswear,
 Working uniforms,
 Towels
 Bed sheets

They are contributing major share to this market.

 Furthermore, the non-sticky, dry-touch VORTEX yarn is the best material of

underwear.
