ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for forming coils of yarn and for heat setting the yarn. The apparatus has a coiler adapted to receive yarn from a yarn source and to form the yarn into a plurality of overlapping loops of a desired size. The coiler preferably includes a supporting frame, a pair of feed rolls mounted on the supporting frame and adapted for feeding yarn from a yarn source, and a rotatable coiler tube positioned downstream from and cooperating with the feed rolls. The coiler also includes a first variable speed drive connected to the pair of feed rolls and adapted for rotating the same at a predetermined speed and a second variable speed drive connected to the coiler tube and adapted for rotating the same at a speed to thereby form loops of yarn of a desired size. The apparatus further has a conveyor positioned below the rotatable coiler tube for receiving overlapping loops of yarn thereon. A heating oven is positioned downstream from the coiler and through which the conveyor extends to thereby effect heat setting of the yarn carried thereon.
