The wetting head is used to prepare the filament yarn to be textured in the air texturing process (ATY). The core thread is usually wetted during a specific process, especially in a process where core and effect yarn is air textured.
The wetting process is used to soften the sizing agent (spin finish), which ultimately improves the texture. Many years of practical use with different machine configurations have shown that the wetting head ensures optimum water transfer to the yarn. The higher the total count range of the feed yarn, the more wetting that is required.
