The process of automation has revolutionized the fiber manufacturing sector, most especially the PSF production line. The manufacturers tend to enhance the levels of production efficiency, reduce the total labor costs and maximize the quality of the products through the application of advanced technological systems. In the case of production of Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF), there are numerous benefits of automation as compared to the other manual methods of production.

In a PSF production line, in which the processes are highly automated, the first step is to extrude the molten polyester into filaments. This filament is then spun into various sizes using an automated system, which is important in the production of quality fibers. The automation did not stop there, as the stretching, cooling and cutting, which involved the use of precision tools did also follow.

One of the main advantages of automation is that it is able to decrease human error. In the course of performing the dependent job manually, variations in the quality of the fiber can be realized to some extent. These variations are avoided through the application of proper blending methods and accurate compositions. Each and every batch of fiber that is produced is of the same quality without any variation.

Another benefit is the high capacity of production. Most of the automation appliances can operate continuously for twenty-four hours for 7 days a week without any breaks. Such can be seen in the textile and automotive industries, which have a great need for polyester fibers.

PSF production lines have many advantages of automation which include improving economies of scale, lower labor costs and better uniformity in product quality. For the manufacturers who wish to remain competitive in the market, it is very rational to purchase an automated PSF production line.
