Making recycled nylon
more conventional
with a new added value

Instead of disposing, finding a new value.
Making recycled nylon more conventional
through manufacturing adding functionality.
UNITO nylon balancing sustainability and high quality
is filled with unlimited possibilities.

How recycled nylon thread is made

Collect lint from within the mill.

Grind lint into chips.

Melting the chips with heat and
extruding them into yarn.

THE PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY  HOKURIKU RECYCLED POLYESTER

Processing Technology 01 AIR
PROCESSING
TWISTED YARN

Fukui

Advanced technology that makes
high-quality recycled nylon yarn feasible.

Air processing is a process in which multiple yarn are entangled like a single thread by the force of high-pressure air, and twisting yarn provides texture and strength through twining. In particular, mills with the know-how to twist sensitive yarn such as nylon are very rare to find. With our extensive equipment and accumulated knowledge and know-how, we are able to provide advanced manufacturing that is unrivaled in the industry.


Processing Technology 02 FALSE
TWISTING

Ishikawa

Cutting-edge machinery and excellent development
capabilities bring added value to yarn.

The technology of blended filament processing which blends yarn while draw texturizing process, makes it possible to produce yarn with added value and originality - for example, by giving synthetic fibers a texture closer to that of natural fibers. In terms of quality control, a thorough system has been established to prevent defective products by recording and tracking all data on each individual thread. For UNITO with the basic premise of being not only sustainable but also of high quality, these technologies are indispensable partners.
