Abstract

A yarn conditioning plant for processing of yarn at high temperature is improved by provision of arrangements for enabling a plurality of yarn threads that have simultaneously been processed upon a single yarn transport to be wound individually upon separate spools. In accordance with a first preferred embodiment, a tension balancing means is provided which includes a potentiometer that is acted upon by the thread tension of yarn threads passing thereover so as to control the operating speed of individually driven spools. According to a further embodiment, the tension of the individual yarn threads is compensated by the use of two separate storage devices upon which the individual processed yarns can be separately wound in a manner so as to achieve a uniform tensioning thereof.
