This presentation summarizes the carding process used in textile engineering. Carding is a mechanical process that disentangles, cleans, and intermixes fibers to produce a continuous web or sliver for further processing. It opens fibers to their individual form, disentangles neps, and blends fibers. The carding machine uses a chute feed to introduce small tufts of cotton, a card feed to card the sliver and clean it, and a coiler to deliver the carded sliver in an orderly manner. There are conventional and non-conventional types of carding machines, and the process generates waste in the form of naps, short fibers, sliver cuts, and filter waste.
