Blow Room

The document discusses the blow room process, which uses multiple machines to open, clean, and prepare cotton fibers for further processing. The objectives of the blow room process are to open compressed cotton fibers with minimal damage, remove impurities like seeds and short fibers, thoroughly blend the fibers, and produce a uniform sheet or lap of fibers. It aims to open individual fibers, remove 40-70% of impurities, extract dust, and recover fibers from waste to reduce raw material consumption. Key parameters that affect the process include machine types, settings, production rates, fiber properties, and environmental conditions. The basic operations are opening, cleaning, dust removal, blending, and evening distributing the prepared fibers to the carding machines.

 Blow Room

There are same methods of opening the mass of fibres into small tufts before further processing.
This process of opening & clean is knows as blow room process. Blow room consists of a number of
m/c used in succession to open & clean the cotton fibre to the required degree 40% to 70% trash is
removed in this section.
 Objects of blow room process:
 To open the compressed layer of bale of cotton or any staple fibres with minimum damage
to the fibres.
 To remove the impurities like sand, seed, bits, neps & short fibres present in the cotton with
minimum loss of lint by opening & blending.
 To effect a through blending with minimum neps formation.
 To convert the mass of cotton fibres into a uniform thick sheet of cotton both longitudinally
& transversely & fed as it in the case of chute feed system or wound in the form of a
compactly built lap with minimum lap rejection.
 Intensive de-dusting of cotton fibres to extract micro- dust in order to improve the working
of opened spinning m/c.
 Fibre recovery from the waste produced by the various processes during the conversion of
fibre to yarn in order to reduce the consumption of raw material.
 Process parameter in the blow room:
Following are the basic parameters to be considered in Blowroom process-
 Number of opening machines
 Type of beater
 Type of beating
 Beater speed
 Setting between feed roller and beater
 Production rate of individual machine
 Production rate of the entire line
 Thickness of the feed web
 Density of the feed web
 Fibre micronaire
 Size of the flocks in the feed
 Type of clothing of the beater
 Point density of clothing
 Type of grid and grid settings
 Air flow through the grid
 Position of the machine in the sequence
 Amount of trash in the material
 Type of trash in the material
 Temp and relative humidity in the blow room department

 Basic operation in blow room:


1. Opening: Opening is the first operation required carried out to the stage of flocks in the
blow room & to the stage individual fibres in the card flock weight can be reduced to about
0.1mg in the room.
2. Cleaning: The blow room can not eliminate all or even almost all of the foreign matter in
the raw material. A blow room installation removes approximately 40% - 70% of the
impurities. The result is dependent on raw material on the m/c s & on the environment
conditions.
3. Dust removal: Dust removal is not an easy operation since the dust particles are
completely enclosed in the flocks & hence are back during suction. The suction units remove
dust 64% dust removal will more intensive the smaller the flocks.
4. Blending: Fibres can be blended at various stages of the process. These possibilities should
always be exploited. Ex: transverse doubling. The start of the process is one of the most
important stages for blending. Intensive blending in a suitable blending m/c must be
carried out after separate flock extraction from individual bales of layout. This blending
operation must collect the sequentially arriving bunches of fibres from individual bales &
mixes them thoroughly.
5. Even feed of material of the card: Finally the blow room must ensure that raw material is
evenly delivered to the cards. Previously, this was carried out by means of precisely
weighed laps from the scutcher, but automatic flock feeding installations are increasingly
being used. While in the introductory phase such installations were subject to problem
regarding evenness of flock deliver, today they generally operate well or at least adequately.
