Abstract: The quality <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn depends up<strong>on</strong> various factors. The factors are fibre properties,<br />
technological parameters, atmospheric c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> etc. Am<strong>on</strong>g many, <strong>on</strong>e important technological parameter<br />
is the orientati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre into the yarn. If fibre is better i.e. if the fibres are parallel toward the yarn axis,<br />
yarn properties become better. When fibre exists into intermediate products as hooked form, under certain<br />
c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> it may deteriorate the comber performance. Again the working length <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> hooked fibre into the<br />
yarn axis become less <strong>and</strong> act as short fibre. This phenomen<strong>on</strong> deteriorates the yarn quality. So that the<br />
number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> hook fibre into the yarn determines the yarn quality in large extent. Thus hooks not <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
determine the yarn quality <strong>and</strong> comber performance but also reduce the price realisati<strong>on</strong>. For these reas<strong>on</strong><br />
we always try to reduce the number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre hook into the yarn. So, the removal <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> hooks or the straitening<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre during processing is very important. We know that hooks generate mainly in carding machine <strong>and</strong><br />
major porti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> it is removed by comber machine. But the success <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> comber machine in this regard<br />
depends up<strong>on</strong> the way <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> feeding hooks toward the machine. The way <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> feeding hooks toward the comber<br />
machine depends up<strong>on</strong> the selecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> machineries between carding <strong>and</strong> comber. This research paper deals<br />
<strong>on</strong>ly the method <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> reducing fibre hooks by selecting machineries between carding <strong>and</strong> comber. So that the<br />
yarn quality <strong>and</strong> process performance will be improved <strong>and</strong> the pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>it margin will be increased for a spinner<br />
from a given quality <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> cott<strong>on</strong>. For this experiment combed yarn was produced by using two flow charts (1.<br />
two machines <strong>and</strong> 2. three machines between carding <strong>and</strong> comber). During processing, comber<br />
performance was observed <strong>and</strong> after producti<strong>on</strong> yarn was tested. From the result it is seen that comber<br />
performance in additi<strong>on</strong> yarn quality was better for the first procedure.<br />
1. Introducti<strong>on</strong><br />
If fibers become straight toward the axis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the yarn, it can exploit the maximum possible c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> its<br />
properties toward yarn properties. This oriented form <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibers show higher cohesive force i.e. higher yarn<br />
strength, better evenness <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn, good looking appearance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn <strong>and</strong> so <strong>on</strong>. So that we can say, more<br />
oriented the fibre toward the yarn axis, better will be the yarn quality. The orientati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibres depends <strong>on</strong><br />
various factors, but mainly depends up<strong>on</strong> the processing parameters. <strong>Comber</strong> plays very important role for<br />
straightening the fibres, but its extent mostly depends <strong>on</strong> the way <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre feeding toward the comber<br />
machine.<br />
This paper mainly c<strong>on</strong>cern about fibre hook that affect the fibre orientati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> to find out the way to<br />
minimise it. As we know that, the carding machine generates huge amount <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> hooks <strong>and</strong> the major porti<strong>on</strong><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this hook is eliminated by comber. The performance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the comber depends up<strong>on</strong> the way <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> feeding<br />
fibre hook toward comber. The directi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre hook is changed after passing each machine, so that<br />
selecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> machine between carding <strong>and</strong> comber is very important.<br />
The experimental tasks <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this research work were carried out at Youth Spinning Mills Ltd. Mirzapur,<br />
Tangail. Here two types <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibres were taken <strong>and</strong> those are Sankar (India) <strong>and</strong> CIS (Uzbekistan).<br />
Here combed yarn sample were produced by using ring frame. For each type <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre yarn was produced by<br />
following two different machine sequences. For sample-I two machines (pre-comb drawing <strong>and</strong> super lap<br />
former) were used between carding <strong>and</strong> comber <strong>and</strong> for sample-II additi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>on</strong>e machine (another draw<br />
frame before super lap former) was used between carding <strong>and</strong> comber. Tests for different products were<br />
taken at testing laboratory <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Youth Spinning Mills Ltd.<br />
2. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Fibre</str<strong>on</strong>g> hook in card sliver<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Hook</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibres are the fibres that have hook formed shape in <strong>on</strong>e or both ends. They are mainly found in the<br />
sliver produced from the carding machine. The phenomena <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> formati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre hook was first investigated
D<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer A<br />
by Mort<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> Yen in Manchester, UK. They introduced a small number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> black tracer fibres <strong>and</strong><br />
investigated the card web for different types <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre hook. They assumed that <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the fibres in the web:<br />
more than 50% have trailing hooks, about 15% have leading hook, about 15% have double hook, <strong>and</strong> less<br />
than 20% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the fibres have no hook.<br />

3. Formati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibre hook:<br />
Directi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> feed or delivery<br />
The hook fibres are mainly generated at the interacti<strong>on</strong> or fibre transfer point <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the cylinder <strong>and</strong> the d<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer.<br />
During fibre transfer, the projecting ends are caught by the clothing <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the d<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer <strong>and</strong> taken up. So most<br />
fibres remain hanging as trailing hooks <strong>on</strong> the teeth <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the d<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer (A). Thus the majority <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the fibres remain<br />
as trailing hook formed in the carded sliver. As the cylinder have a much higher surface speed than the<br />
d<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer, some <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the fibres remain caught at <strong>on</strong>e end by the teeth <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the cylinder. When these fibres<br />
c<strong>on</strong>densate <strong>on</strong> d<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer due to centrifugal force the result is leading hook fibre which is minority hooks.<br />

4. Removing fibre hooks by comber<br />
Main cylinder T<br />
From the following figures we can see that comber machine can straightens <strong>on</strong>ly the leading hooks. The<br />
nippers grip the fibres at the tip <strong>and</strong> circular comb straightens out the hooks at the leading end as it sweeps<br />
the fibre fringe. But if the fibre hooks are present as trailing hooks as figure 3.b. then either the nippers grip<br />
the hooked end or may not be gripped at all. Result is fibre will go to delivery sliver as hooked form or the<br />
fibre is treated as short fibre <strong>and</strong> will be wasted.

5. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Effect</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> passages between carding <strong>and</strong> comber<br />
After passing each operati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> processing i.e. <strong>on</strong>e machine the directi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the str<strong>and</strong> is reversed. As stated<br />
earlier that comber machine can straighten out the leading hooks <strong>on</strong>ly, so that to present the majority hooks<br />
in leading form, there must be even number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> passages between carding <strong>and</strong> comber. This is shown in<br />
figure 3.a. For even number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> passages two machines are used <strong>and</strong> for normal case those are pre-comb<br />
drawing <strong>and</strong> super lap former.<br />

For this research work combed ring yarn was produced, but the process flow chart was different for<br />
producing two samples. For sample-I, 24 cans <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sliver were produced by pre-comb drawing machine.<br />
Then eight laps were made by super lap former from these cans <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sliver. Then combed sliver were
produced by comber. Then 12 ring cops <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 30 Ne yarn were produced by using post-comb drawing,<br />
simplex <strong>and</strong> ring frame at last.<br />
For sample-II after producing sliver from pre-comb drawing again the sliver was passed through the same<br />
machine <strong>and</strong> then super lap former was used to produce mini lap. The rest <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the process was same as to<br />
produce the yarn for sample-I . Different tests were performed for combed sliver, post-comb drawn sliver,<br />
roving, yarn <strong>and</strong> noil for each sample.<br />

From the above results it is observed that there is a noticeable increase in noil extracti<strong>on</strong> percentage for<br />
sample-II with respect to sample-I. Analysing the noil it is seen that both 2.5% span length <strong>and</strong> 50% span<br />
length have increased for sample-II <strong>and</strong> SFI also increased as well. These phenomen<strong>on</strong>s indicate that in<br />
sample-II more fibres are getting wasted with l<strong>on</strong>ger fibres. Thus it can be said that proper utilizati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
length properties <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the fibres are not exploited for sample-II <strong>and</strong> it is probably due to feeding trailing<br />
hooked form fibres toward comber for using three passages between carding <strong>and</strong> comber.<br />
The nep c<strong>on</strong>tent in the combed sliver for sample-II is lower than that <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample-I. The probable reas<strong>on</strong><br />
behind this may be higher wastage percentage. So that, there is a possibility <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> removing more neps. If the<br />
quality parameters i.e. U% <strong>and</strong> CV% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the combed sliver, post comb drawn sliver <strong>and</strong> roving are<br />
observed, it is seen that there is clear deteriorati<strong>on</strong> trend for the materials <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample-II than sample-I. This<br />
is probably due to retaining <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> hook fibres into delivered sliver. As hooked fibre act as short fibre <strong>and</strong> result<br />
is irregularity generati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
For sample-II, the value <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> U%, CV%, IPI <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn also higher than that <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample-I. Not <strong>on</strong>ly that the value<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> CSP is also low for the same yarn. It means the lower quality yarn is produced for sample-II though the<br />
waste percentage is higher. So that, it is proved that additi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>on</strong>e drawing passage between carding <strong>and</strong><br />
comber deteriorates the yarn quality. It is probably due to feeding trailing hook toward comber. As the<br />
comber could not remove it <strong>and</strong> passed it into the yarn as hook form or became wasted. The retaining<br />
hooked form fibre in the yarn reduces the actual fibre length c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> to yarn <strong>and</strong> acted as short fibre.<br />
As a result the yarn structure becomes less uniform <strong>and</strong> this phenomena may be the reas<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
deteriorati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn quality. But there is no remarkable change in hairiness level. It may be described as<br />
there is no change <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fibres in yarn cross secti<strong>on</strong>, due to producing same count <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn from<br />
same fibre for both the samples.<br />
10. C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong><br />
Form this experiment it is found that sample-I shows better comber performance as well as the yarn quality<br />
than that <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample-II. So that, it can be c<strong>on</strong>cluded from this research work that two intervening processes<br />
leading to three processes between carding <strong>and</strong> comber gives less waste <strong>and</strong> better yarn quality. So that not<br />
<strong>on</strong>ly recommended the even number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> passages between carding <strong>and</strong> combing but also the directi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
slivers should not be reversed in any way prior to comber.<br />
The authors had the intenti<strong>on</strong> to perform the study for different counts <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> yarn, but unfortunately it was not<br />
possible due to some limitati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the mill. But the authors were fortunate as they could use two types <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
raw cott<strong>on</strong> having different properties. The authors also feel fortunate as modern <strong>and</strong> running machineries<br />
(both processing <strong>and</strong> testing) were used in this research work.<br />
