In order to investigate the effect of arrangement models on the quality of cellulose acetate tow, two different arrangement models, vertical model and horizontal model, were used to combine the cellulose acetate tow. The stability of the light transmittance value and width change of the tows were tested and analyzed, and the quality indexes of the tows were further analyzed. The results showed that the horizontal model was more suitable for the production of cellulose acetate tow,and the quality of the tow was higher and the performance was more stable. The research can provide theoretical guidance for industrial continuous production and technological transformation of cellulose acetate tow.
