Wool Production Process Sheep are sheared to remove the fleece in the spring season. Wool removed from animals that have been slaughter is referred to as ‘pulled wool’. Pooled fibre is inferior in quality to fleece or tip wool as it is less lustrous and elastic. It can be spun into yarns by the woolen or the worsted system. […]
Roller setting is a very important task in the spinning department. Incorrect settings lead to creation of various problems and hampers spinning conditions. The speed of the leading roller is always greater than the preceding roller. Incorrect setting leads to the variation of weight/unit lengths. If the setting between two pairs of drafting roller is[…]
The fibre is the fundamental unit of which fabric is made. When a yarn is unraveled we can see fibre. Each of the tiny hair that makes up the yarn is fibre. Fibre is much resembled to hair in appearance of which cloths are made, e.g. denim, cotton, rayon, silk, nylon and polyester. General Properties of Fibres Physical Properties
The main aspect of the quality of preparation in winding is the production of a fault-free package that will unwind smoothly during warping. Some of these faults are caused by faulty machine settings while others are caused by incorrect work practice. Hence periodic checks on machine conditions, settings, and proper supervision of operatives are necessary in order[…]
The drafting mechanism is an essential part of the spinning section in the Textile Industries. Without this mechanism, higher or lower-count yarn is not possible.

Objects of Speed Frame The purposes or objects of speed frame are: The package so produced is tapered or conical at each end and made sufficient firm so that it can be transferred without damage to the roving and yet will unwind readily at the next machine. Operations involved in Speed Frame The following operations are involved[…]
The winding section is necessary for any textile manufacturing factories because it plays a vital role in winding any package perfect for the following process. Suppose it a yarn dyeing factory to dye yarn. Then for proper dyeing, an appropriate package of yarn is required. So, in this case, the winding section plays an important role. To[…]
