Comber machines play a vital role in the textile spinning process, refining raw fibers to produce uniform, high-quality sliver for yarn production. Combing operation is carried out between carding and draw frame machine. It is primarily used in long-staple fiber processing (such as combed cotton yarn production) to remove short fibers, neps, and impurities, improving […]
What is Ribbon Lap Machine? Ribbon lap machine is used to produce the lap by doubling several numbers of slivers and webs, respectively. This machine plays a crucial role in the cotton spinning process by ensuring that fiber laps are uniform and well-prepared for the comber machine. Its primary function is to convert loose, fluffy

What is Sliver Lap Machine? Sliver lap machine is a preparatory machine used in spinning mill, particularly in the combing process. This machine is used to produce the lap by doubling several numbers of slivers. Its primary purpose is to process multiple carded slivers, condensing and preparing them into a lap for efficient feeding into

Rotor Spinning Process Rotor spinning process is fundamentally different from the ring spinning process in both mechanism and outcomes. Rotor spinning is also called open-end spinning. In rotor spinning process the preparatory processes include the operation of the blow room, card and draw frame passage. For the spinning of coarser yarn counts with shorter fiber
What is Carding in Textile? Carding is the action of reducing tufts of entangled fibers into a filmy web of individual fibers by working the tufts between closely spaced surfaces clothed with opposing sharp points. In carding process, fiber tufts are further opened and separated to almost single fiber stage by the card and thereafter
What is Olefin Fiber? Olefin is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polyethylene, propylene, or other olefin unit, except amorphous ( noncrystalline) polyolefins. It is a very lightweight fiber possesses very good strength and abrasion resistance. Olefin (polypropylene) fibers are the least used in textiles of the big five

What is Nanofibre? Nanofibres are extremely small; they vary in size from 1 micron to approximately 0.5 nanometres (<100 nm in diameter). They were pioneered by the aerospace industry, which places quite a premium on weight and space when planning space missions. Non-woven sheets can be produced via an electro spinning process that can draw

What is Microfiber? What is twice as thin as the finest silk fiber and 100 times finer than a strand of human hair? The answer is the amazing microfiber, one of the newest developments in fiber research. Microfiber is a synthetic fibre that is made up of ultra-fine threads, typically made from polyester or a
What is Acrylic Fibre? Acrylic is a synthetic polymer fibre made from a combination of chemicals, primarily acrylonitrile and a few other monomers. Acrylic fibres are known for their softness, lightweight, durability, and ability to retain their shape and color after washing. It has great affinity with acid dyes. Acrylic fibres are spun from polymers

What is Nylon Fibre? Nylon is a man-made synthetic polymer, polyamide filament or staple fibre. It is a long-chain synthetic polyamide in which less then 85% of amide linkages are attached to two aromatic rings. Nylon fibres are made up of linear macromolecules whose structural units are linked by the amide (–NH–CO–) group. Therefore, these
