Description
Summary:Carding is the most vital process in spinning, which infl uences the sliver quality and the resulting yarn characteristics. The eff ect of carding on single fibre and bundle fibre properties were studied by employing advanced fibre information system (AFIS) and diff erences in properties are reported. For a good quality yarn, the process parameters and setting in the carding are needed to be selected properly. The paper presents the results due to the effect of points per square inch (PPSI) in stationary flats of licker-in side (SFL). The effect of setting between the flats and cylinder was also studied. The sample was prepared using LMW spinning line using LC-333 carding machine. After regulatory changing the PPSI in SFL, the neps in the carded sliver were reduced. The experimentation led to the reductions in the total imperfection in yarn.
