Impact of carding parameters and draw frame doubling on the properties of ring spun yarn

Abstract

The impact of card cylinder speed, card production rate and draw frame doubling on cotton yarn quality parameters was investigated by using the Box Behnken experimental design. It was found that yarn tenacity, elongation and hairiness increase by increasing the number of draw frame doubling up to a certain level and then decrease by further increase in doubling. Yarn unevenness increased by increasing card production rate and total yarn imperfections increased by decreasing card cylinder speed and increasing card production rate.
