3.2 Instruction on Meter

Fig.7-Temperature Meter

Press “”, and key to change the SV value; if the SV value is higher than the PV value, the temperature meter will automatically send a signal to the heating pipes to heat. So the way to stop heating is to set SV value of temperature to be lower than PV value.

Fig.8-Speed Adjuster

Press “Jog” button and hold it, the drawing rolls will continuously rotate; if release it, the drawing rolls will stop rotate;

If the drawing rolls do not rotate, press “Run” button and then the drawing rolls rotate;

If the drawing rolls are rotating, press “Stop” button and then they stops rotating;

Press “” button to increase the speed;

Press “” button to increase the speed;

4. Working conditions

● Ambient temperature: 10℃-40℃ range;

●The relative humidity of 30% -80%;

● No vibration around, no corrosive media in the environment;

● On a solid basis;

● Work without strong magnetic field interference, no strong air convection around.

5. Installation and Attention

1) Place all parts of the instrument on a stable and level table in the sequence;

2) Adjust the position of all parts to make the filament move in a line;

3) Adjust the position of guiding wheel on each drawing rolls as below:

●Pull the metal bar for the guiding wheel and at the same time anti-clockwisely turn it until it loose with the nut; at this moment, the metal bar and nut can be moved up or down;

Note-Just loose the metal bar and do not unscrew it from the nut.

●Move the metal bar with nut to the appropriate position, pull it again and clockwisely turn it as the same time to tighten it;

●In this way to adjust the position of the guiding wheel.

5) Loose the Allen key of each filament pressing roller in the coagulation bath to lift the filament pressing rollers;

6) Pour the coagulating solution into the coagulation bath;

7) Open the cover of the solution tank;

8) Pour the spinning solution into the solution tank;

9) Fix the cover onto the solution tank;

10) Connect the gas inlet port onto a Nitrogen cylinder (prepared by the user himself); if required, connect the vacuum pump (prepared by the user himself) with the port for it on the cover of the solution tank to vacuumize the solution tank and remove air from the spinning solution;

11) Turn on all parts, set the required temperature on all temperature meter

12) When all temperatures reach the required value, set the rotation speed of relative drafting rollers and the winding rollers;

13) Close the vent port (port for vacuum pump) of solution tank and adjust the output pressure of Nitrogen cylinder to be 0.1~0.2Mpa;

14) Press on-off button to open the solenoid valve between the solution tank and the

doing pump, so than the spinning solution can flow from the solution tank into the dosing pump;

15) Adjust the rotation speed of dosing pump and then the dosing pump delivers the spinning solution to the spinneret;

16) Lower the spinneret into the coagulating solution and there will be air bubbles from the spinneret;

17) When air bubbles disappear, the spinning solution will passes through the spinneret to form some fine stream and the fine stream in the coagulating bath to form a filament;

18) Hold the filament by the tool or hand wearing protective gloves and then introduce it through the drafting rollers, heating bath, setting bath and finally to wind onto the winding roller.
