Preamble


Theproverbs like "Carding is the heart of Spinning" and "Well Card is half spun"signifies the importance of Carding operation in Spinning mill. Cardingoperation serves following objectives:


  • Individualization of the fibre.
  • Disentanglement of neps
  • Formation of Sliver for next operation


Improper carding seriously affects the final quality of yarnand leads to higher imperfections and neppiness. The process parameters likespeed, wire point density, gauges of component parts and mechanical conditionneeds to be taken care for producing high-quality yarn


Introductionabout current Paper


As Cardingis such an important operation, a more intricate understanding is required dueto


  • Presence of different generation of carding machine
  • Availability of different types of fibres
  • Newer fibre blends forming fashion statements and
  • Exceptional innovations in fibre technology


It is justified to appreciate that different fibres orblends require different set of process conditions for utilizing the strong characteristicsand shielding the weak traits. Regenerated cellulosic fibres have made their presencestrongly felt in providing functional and aesthetic characteristics to the appareland home textiles. Three generations of regenerated cellulosic fibres namelyViscose, Modal and Lyocell are jewels in todays world and are increasinglybeing processed independently or in blends with natural as well as syntheticfibres.


The present paper is an attempt to provide information onprocessing regenerated cellulosic fibre on carding machine.
