Effect of process parameters at comber on yam and fabric properties

Abstract

The effect of different process parameters at comber on yarn and fabric properties for the same noil% has been studied. It is observed that there exists a best combination of process parameters at comber for every noil % based on the length and length distribution of fibre. While selecting these process parameter, it is necessary to study the classimat faults as well as fabric appearance instead of only yarn imperfections and tenacity. The increase in top comb penetration beyond a certain level increases the classimat faults in the categories H and I due to the disturbance of combed fringe by the top comb, though there is a reduction in the imperfections and classimat faults due to raw material.
