Bark effect on spinning efficiency of cotton

Cotton mixes with various combinations of low and high bark content were processed on standard, tandem, and modern (two different manufacturers) textile cleaning equipment, and then spun on a modern rotor spinning frame to determine the effect of bark concentrations on processing efficiency and yarn...

Summary:Cotton mixes with various combinations of low and high bark content were processed on standard, tandem, and modern (two different manufacturers) textile cleaning equipment, and then spun on a modern rotor spinning frame to determine the effect of bark concentrations on processing efficiency and yarn quality. Increased bark concentrations did not significantly reduce yarn quality for any of the four processing sequences. The number of yarn breaks in spinning increased (efficiency loss) approximately 66% for each one percent increase in bark content for the cottons processed on standard textile equipment. Yarn breaks were not significantly affected by increased bark concentrations when tandem carding or modern cleaning and carding equipment were used
