The study focused on the production of modified composite nanofiber yarns with fine functional particles. A device that incorporates fine functional particles into a nanofiber yarn wrapper was specially developed, which ensures the continuous production of modified yarn. It was demonstrated during the study that the specially designed equipment could be used effectively for incorporating fine functional particles into the nanofiber packaging, thus creating a unique yarn with high application potential. The use of particles with dimensions of just tens of micrometers results in the uneven flow of particles inside the chamber and the uneven supply of particles to the composite yarn. The study also determined that the number of particles incorporated into the composite yarn is affected by the particle concentration and the variation of the vortex velocity ratios in the chamber. During testing, it was also found that the nanofiber sheet of the composite yarn improves the mechanical properties of the produced yarn. In addition, the study included the semi-industrial production of a composite filter candle, which can be used for the treatment of fluids, especially air and water.
