Abstract
A mechanism is proposed for the observation that poor carding results in more trash release in open-end spinning. This fact is attributed to the differential size of tuftlets formed during carding. It is also noted that the combination of dirty cotton and good carding produces superior spinning performance to clean cotton and poor carding—i.e., better processing can partially offset deficiencies in the input material.
