Cotton Yarn Cotton yarns are the most produced yarn in the world. There are various types of cotton yarns are produced by different spinning machines. Mainly cotton yarns are divided into three types carded, combed and rotor yarn depending on the manufacturing techniques. Each has its own characteristics. These characteristics vary according to the construction … Read more
Cotton Yarn Manufacturing Process In the spinning process, various types of textile machinery are used for cotton yarn preparation. Cotton fibers are spanned for preparing rotor, carded, and combed yarn. However, each yarn is prepared with various techniques. The sequence of machinery used for yarn preparation is differing from one to another. Image Source: rieter.com … Read more
Spinning Spinning is the first step of textile product processing. In fact, the process of making yarns from the textile fiber stands for spinning. Accordingly, there are various types of spinning methods for producing different types of yarn. Besides, if we notice, we will see that the cotton fibers convert into carded yarn, combed yarn, … Read more
Simplex Machine A simplex machine or speed frame or roving frame is situated after the comber in the yarn manufacturing process. However, the sliver which is produced from the comber is thicker and it is not suitable to feed into the ring frame directly to produce yarn. For this reason, the drawn sliver is treated … Read more
Combing Process The combing process is essential to remove short fiber by combing action of the comber machine which is not good for making finer yarn. In spinning technology; combing is considered an additional process. If we want to produce finer yarn then we need to pass the combing process. Hence, combed yarn is produced … Read more
Tensioning Device Tensioning device is an important element in the textile sector. In the winding process; yarns are transferred from one package to another. Therefore, during the winding process; the tension of the yarns should be controlled, otherwise, yarn breakage will be increased for high tension or low tension will hamper the winding operation. So, … Read more
Yarn Guides Yarn guides are one of the helping instruments to control the yarn path. Moreover, this guide requires performing the winding or unwinding process properly. In every operation where yarns are transferred from one package to another, yarn guides are required there. Specifically, yarn guides are used during the winding, warping, beaming, and weaving … Read more
