2. • Blowroom:
Opening: Open the material into very fine tufts
Cleaning: Eliminate most of the impurities.
Mixing and Blending: Provide a good blend of two different fibers.
Lap or Flocks formation: To form sheet of fiber with uniform weight and width called lap or transfer
the fibers in open form to card through chute feed.
• Input- Fibers Output- Lap/Fibers in chute feed system
3. • Carding:
Opening into individual fibers: To open the tuft of fibers into individual fibers.
Elimination of Impurities: To remove remaining trash particles from the material.
Elimination of Dust
Disentangling Neps: To remove neps from the fibers.
Sliver Formation: Formation of Uniform strand i.e Sliver.
• Input- Lap/Fibers from Chute Feed Output- Carded Sliver
4. • Drawframe:
Equalizing: To improve the evenness over short, medium and long term in the sliver.
Parallelizing: To arrange the fibers parallelly in the sliver strand by drafting.
Blending: Blending of sliver of two different materials can be achieved at Drawframe.
Dust Removal
• Input- Carded Sliver Output- Drawn Sliver
5. • Speed Frame:
Attenuation of Sliver: Drafting of the sliver strand.
Insert twist & Roving Formation: To insert small amount of twist so to hold the strand of fibers
together.
Winding on bobbin: To wind the twisted roving strand into a bobbin.
• Input- Drawn Sliver Output- Roving
6. •
Drafting: To draw the roving to the specified degree of fineness.
Twisting: To impart sufficient twist to the emerging strand of fibres to form a continuous length of
yarn
Winding: To finish up the small stuff into convenient package called as bobbin.
• Input- Roving Output- Yarn
7. • Comber:
Removal of Short Fibers: To remove short fibers of pre-determined length.
Impurities removal from lap: Remove impurities from comber lap.
Sliver formation: To produce a consistent sliver of required per unit length.
• Note: Input and output except comber are for carded yarn.
