Comparative study of stationary flats on C-60 V7 Q-pack carding machine with different wire points per square inch and its impact on waste percentage, cotton fiber behaviour and yarn quality

摘要

The aim of this paper is to study the working of two different combinations of stationary flats having different wire points per square inch and its impact on waste percentage reduction and cotton fiber behavior. The overall objective is to increase the yield percentage by minimizing the carding waste with the help of stationary flats, and also improving the quality of ring spun yarn. This research is partial to the performance of stationary flats only, and does not involve other parts of carding machine. Further research may be carried out on other parts of the carding machine as well. The paper tries to identify the best combination of stationary flats on C-60 Q-pack carding machine for cotton fiber.
