 BLOW ROOM
Here there are series of opening and cleaning machines and finally lap formation
takes place. Since the tuft size of cotton becomes smaller and smaller, the required
intensities of processing necessitates different machine configuration. Now a day’s
cotton material is directly fed to carding machine through chute feeding system.

Object of blow room:

1) Opening:

a) To open the compressed bales of fibres.

b) To make the cotton tuft as small as far as possible.

2. Cleaning:

To remove dirt, dust, broken seeds, broken leaves, and other foreign materials from the fibre.

3. Mixing & Blending:

To make good value of yarn and to decrease production cost mixing and blending is done.

4. Lap or flocks formation:

To transfer opened and cleaned fibre into sheet form of definite width and length which is called
lap or in modern system directly feed to the carding machine into flocks form.
 CARDING
Carding is the process in which sliver is formed from lap by carding m/c. Carding
may be defined as the reduction of an entangled mass of fibers to a filmy web
working two closely spaced, relatively moving surface clothed with sharp wire
points. The carding is the heart of the spinning mill.

Object of carding:
1. Opening to individual fibres:

The blow room only opens the raw material to flocks where as the card opens it to the stage of

individual fibres.

2. Elimination of impurities and dust:

Elimination of foreign matter occurs mainly licker-in or takerin region. The card also removes

a large proportion of micro-particles.

3. Elimination of short fibres:

Short fibres can only be eliminated if they are pressed into the wire points.

4. Disentangling of neps:

The card reduces the number of neps from the Blow room. Actually neps are not eliminated at

the card, intact they are mostly opened out.

5. Fibre blending:

Intimate fibre with fiber mixing is achieved in carding.

6. Fibre orientation:

The card is often attributed effect of parallelizing.

7. Sliver formation:

Sliver is formed in carding as an intermediate product.

Generally, the card sliver hank lies between 4 ktex to 5.5 kilotex. From the above discussion,

it is cleared that carding is called the “Heart of spinning”.
