Publisher's Synopsis
"Well carded is half spun" is a famous adage widely used among the spinning technologists around the world. Carding is considered as the heart of the spinning process. Carding is a mechanical action of reducing tufts of entangled fibers into a continuous web of individual fibers suitable for subsequent processing. The disentangling of fiber tufts facilitates effective trash removal. This is achieved by passing the fibers between closely spaced surfaces clothed with opposing sharp points. Carding process is considered the most important operation in the whole cotton spinning process.
