Abstract

A device is designed to automate the process of stripping residual yarn from a yarn tube. The device comprises a feeding mechanism, an index dial, a residual yarn removing mechanism, a compression mechanism, and an arranging mechanism. The automated device enhances the recycling quality of the stripped residual yarn and minimizes the likelihood that the yarn tube is damaged in the stripping process.
