Spinning Review

How to prevent Fiber Rupture? Mills pay a lot of attention to the quality of cotton during the purchase but many are not aware of haw much damage is happening to fibers before spinning. Ideally, one would like the properties ct- original fibers to be maintained in processed fibers. In the case of synthetic fibers, it is even mare critical to avoid rupture - these are more sensitive and subject to damage easily. Rupture in synthetic fibers not only causes serious quality issues but also plays havoc with the production process leading to high variability and frequent stoppages in production. The use of chemical sprays, dyes, and powders also adds to complications in synthetic fibers.

Fiber rupture can cost heavily in terms of:

Saw Tooth Harsh Opening

Pins Gentle Opening

    

Increasing short fiber content Increasing hairiness of yarns Generating micro-dust Weakening fibers hence reducing CSP Increasing spindle breaks and winder cuts  Increasing process waste and reducing yarn realization The above effects lead to a significant lass at- production, efficiency, fiber yield, and yarn quality. So, everyone should be interested in reducing rupture Adopting gentle spinning is the sclution to minimize these problems. Wire causes harsh opening due to the knife-edged saw tooth wires whereas Pins do gentle opening due to the smooth rounded tips which last very lang too. In addition to minimal rupture, Gentle Opening ensures better cleaning of trash. The above effects lead to a significant loss of production, efficiency. fiber yield. and yarn quality.

Adopting gentle pinned type is not enough, one has to spinning is the solution to minimize these also optimize the settings for best results problems. Wire causes harsh opening due from pinned beaters. to the knife-edged saw tooth wires Same settings as wire rollers will not whereas Pins do gentle opening due to give many benefits since the action of the smooth rounded tips which last very wire on fibers is a cutting action under long too. In addition to minimal rupture. pressure ( close settings) whereas the Gentle Opening ensures better cleaning action of pins is a gentle untangling of trash, removal of powders, better action without pressure ( open settings). opening, and more consistency (due to Due to the significant reduction in waste, long life) in the preparatory process. savings generated can provide a payback Many of our clients have also been able in 6-9 months ( life of pin rollers is 4-10 to reduce comber noil % upon using Pinned Rollers in Blowroom and Cards. years, depending on operating conditions) for the investment on retrofitting Basant Fibertek, specializes in gentle wire rollers with pinned ones. fiber opening solutions using the right design of Pinned Beaters, Pinned Lickerins, and the right machine settings to achieve optimal results in terms of production, quality, and yarn realization.
