Step 2: Add 0.1-0.15wt‰ whitening powder, 0.5-0.9wt‰ zinc oxide powder, and 3-5wt% polyester chain extender to the dried PET chips from Step 1. After mixing evenly, spin the mixture at a temperature of 260-285°C, a pressure of 3-6MPa, and a spinning speed of 1000-1200m / min. The process involves spinning nascent fiber bundles under specific conditions to obtain nascent fiber bundles. These bundles are then air-dried at an air velocity of 0.5-0.9 m / s and an air temperature of 22-28°C. In step two, the air-dried nascent fiber bundles are immersed in a composite oil agent at a temperature of 75°C and a concentration of 3-5 wt%, and then sequentially drawn through a first, second, and third drawing roller. In step four, the drawn nascent fiber bundles from step three are immersed in a composite oil agent at a concentration of 75°C and a concentration of 3-5 wt%, and then dried and set at a temperature of 130-145°C for 30-35 minutes. The resulting fibers are then cut, packaged, and processed to produce recycled polyester staple fibers.
