Segmental drafting makes use of a roll with a discontinuous surface, located in the front, bottom position of a two zone drafting system. Segmental drafting removes more coarse trash and dust (larger than 43 μm) and slightly less fine dust than a continuous drafting roll used in the same position. Segment roll design, sliver production rate, drafting force, and draft ratio all have an effect on dust removal.
