What is yarn spinning and what equipment is needed to prepare the fiber? Textile fibers can be manmade or naturally derived. Natural fibers are cellulose-based, protein-based, or mineral-based while manmade fibers are primarily based on synthetic polymers but also employ natural polymers that have been chemically altered to produce a new fiber. Every yam production begins by preparation of these fibers. This process begins via a bale opener removing these fibers layer by layer and gently separating these fibers into small tufts. Air currents transport these tufts to opening and cleaning machines for gentle preparation and onto precision blending machines that mix the tufts from a singular raw material or from various raw materials based on the application and finished product requirements. Once these pre-cleaned tufts are mixed systematically they are carded. The process of carding disentangles, cleans and intermixes the fibers to form a web. This web is gathered up in loose, untwisted ropelike strand which is fed into a can for storage and subsequent processing.
