of Carding Machine in
Spinning
Carding

• Carding is one of the most important operations in the spinning process as


it directly determines the final features of the yarn, above all as far as the
content of neps and husks are concerned. It helps us both way to open the
tuft into a single fiber and to remove the impurities and neps. So it is said
that “The card is the heart of spinning mill”. Card feeding is done by two
ways. One is manually and other is through chute feed system.
Carding Process
Main Problems in Carding Process

• atchy web
• Singles
• Sagging web
• High card waste
• Low nep-removal efficiency
• Higher U% of sliver
• Bulky sliver
• Higher breaks
Causes & Way of Remedies in Carding ??
Causes & Way of Remedies in Carding

• Patchy web: 
May be due to loading on the cylinder, damaged or pressed wire points, waste accumulation
below cylinder under casing or defective under casing. 

Singles: 
May be due to lap licking, less feed in chutes, part of carded web getting sucked by the waste
extractor, damaged doffer wire and direct air currents hitting the web. 

Sagging web: 
May be due to insufficient tension draft, very high humidity, worn out key in the calendar
roller gears, heavy material fed to card and inadequate calendar roller pressure. 
Causes & Way of Remedies in Carding

• High card waste: 


High card wastes are due to damaged under casings, higher flat speed, wider front
plate setting, closer setting of flats, and higher pressure in suction unit and fibres
getting ruptured. 

Low nep-removal efficiency: 


Blunt wire points, too wide setting between feed plate and licker-in, uneven settings,
burrs in front plate/back plate, and card wires of coarse type are the main reasons
for low nep-removal efficiency. 
Causes & Way of Remedies in Carding

• Higher U% of sliver: 
Worn out parts, eccentric movement in coiler calendar or table calendar rollers, uneven feed, waste
accumulation in material patch, improper settings and loading of fibres on cylinder and flats are some
of the reasons for higher U% of card sliver. 

Bulky sliver: 
Slivers become bulky by use of trumpet of a very large size and lower calendar pressure. 

Higher breaks: 
Very small trumpet, worn out trumpet, uneven sliver with bunches of fibres, worn out gears, damaged
clothing, air currents disturbing the web, improper temperature and humidity and a very high tension-
draft causes higher breakages of web and sliver.
