The Effect of Microwave Drying on Warp Sizing

The paper describes our research of microwave usage in drying the size pick-up. An analysis of three different drying processes in relation to physical-mechanical properties of sized yarn has been carried out. Under the same sizing conditions, but different drying methods, the following parameters w...

Description
Summary:The paper describes our research of microwave usage in drying the size pick-up. An analysis of three different drying processes in relation to physical-mechanical properties of sized yarn has been carried out. Under the same sizing conditions, but different drying methods, the following parameters were determined: breaking force, elongation at break, abrasion resistance and yarn hairiness. The application of microwave drying method for warp sizing showed to be equally good, or even better in some cases, compared to the conduct and convection drying methods.
