Principles of Spinning: Fibres and Blow Room Cotton Processing begins by giving basic information about the various types of fibres (natural or artificial) used as raw materials in textile manufacture, for fibre-to-yarn conversion. This information includes essential and desirable fibre characteristics along with material on cotton-growing. The book offers a brief description of conventional methods of blow-room machinery, including shortcomings and aspects of automation. Many day-to-day examples that a spinner should know are presented, and the problems solved with an aim to give the reader an idea of how to use the various technical parameters in acquiring the required working data. The book focuses on blow room sequence of machines and its functioning.
Key features:
Discussion of the role of electronics in management of various controls.
Review of a practical perspective of modern techniques used in processing cotton through the blow room.
An exclusive chapter on modern blow room concept.
Solved examples and exercises.
This book is aimed at senior undergraduates and graduate students in textile engineering, staple fibre processing, and the spinning of staple fibres.
