Card waste:

I) Motes and fly (foreign matter/heavy particles: leaf, seeds) 33%

II) Flat strip (short fibers, neps) 45%

III) Cylinder strip (short fibers) 16%

IV) Doffer strip (short fibers) 2.5%


𝑉)Clearer waste ( short fly waste)
VI)Sweeping waste
} 3.5%
VII)Reusable waste

Card setting:
In carding m/c, the distance betn subsequent part is called card setting. Setting of
1
different parts are of very fine gauge, which are expressed in terms of
1000 i.e. in Thou.
Thou means
thousands of
one inch.
Now-a-days it is also done in mm. Each & every parts are placed or installed in the
carding m/c with a precise & accurate setting to achieve the sliver regularity.

Ideal setting
Ideal setting are those settings which are recommended by the m/c maker.

Optimum setting
Optimum setting are those settings which are merely suitable for achieving the technological
target as well as efficiency. It may be quoted that the ideal settings & optimum settings may
be of same or different in versatile cases.

Factors which are considered for optimum card setting


1. Type of feed mtl (cotton, synthetic etc).
2. Staple length of the mtl.
3. Fibre fineness.
4. The amount of trash to be removed.
5. The hank of lap feed.
6. The expected waste percentage.
7. Types of card clothing.
8. Hank of delivered sliver.
9. Production rate.
10. Mechanical condition of m/c.

Major setting point and their effect:


Feed plate to Licker-in:
Setting: 9-12 thou
Effect: If the setting is closer, higher waste% will get and vice versa.

Mote knife to Licker-in:


Setting: 10 thou
Effect: If the setting is closer, higher waste% will get and vice versa.

Licker-in to Cylinder:
Setting: 7 thou
Effect: If the setting is wider, cotton will not perfectly open, as a result less neps will remove.
If the setting is closer, friction will be occurred between these parts.
Flat to Cylinder:
Setting: 10-15 thou
Effect: If the setting is closer, fiber will be breakage.
If the setting is more wider, neps and short fiber will less remove.
Doffer to Cylinder:
Setting: 8 thou
Effect: If the setting is closer, fiber will transfer cylinder to doffer properly.
If the setting is more wider, fiber will not transfer cylinder to doffer properly.
Cylinder to Cylinder under caging:
Setting: Back -12 thou, Middle-32thou, Front-64 thou
Effect: If the setting is wider, there is a less possibility to loss good fiber and vice versa.
NRE: Neps Removal Efficiency

The neps per grams that is removed from the carding m/c is expressed as percentage with
respect to the nep/gms in cotton while passing through the chute to the carding m/c is known
as the nep removal efficiency.

neps/gm of feed mtl − neps/gm of delivered mtl


𝑵𝑹𝑬% = ∗ 100
neps/gm of feed mtl
Low-70%, Medium-80%, High-90%

English cotton count (Ne):


It represents the no. of hank of 840 yards of length in a 1-pound(lb.) weight of yarn.

For example:
1Ne: 1 X 840 yards of length in 1 pound(lb.) of weight
10Ne :10 X 840 yards of length in 1 pound(lb.) of weight
20Ne : 20 X 840 yards of length in 1 pound(lb.) of weight

In case of sliver, lap and roving: Count expressed as hank.

Some necessary conversion:

• 1 pound (lb) = 7000 grains


• 1 pound (lb) = 453.6 grams
• 1 pound (lb) =16 ounce (oz)
• 1 lea =120 yards
• 7 leas or 840 yards =1 hank
• 1m=1.0936yd
• 1yd=0.914m
• 1 yd=36 inch
• 1kg=2.2046 pound (lb)

Problem: Find the production per shift of a carding machine by using following
data:
Sliver hank = 0.111
Eff. = 96 %
Delivery Speed = 189 m/min

Production= Here,
Sliver hank = 0.111
Delivery speed (m/min) × 1.0936 × 60 × 8 × eff.%
= 𝒍𝒃/𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒇𝒕
840 × hank Eff. = 96 %
189 × 1.0936 × 60 × 8 × 0.96 Speed = 189 m/min
= 𝒌𝒈/𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒇𝒕
840 × 0.111 × 2.2046

= 472.99 kg/shift

Problem: Find the production per hour of a carding machine by using following
data:

• Doffer speed= 10 RPM-[;\o0;

• Doffer dia= 27 inch


• Sliver hank= 0.15
• Machine efficiency= 90%
• Production/hour=?

Problem- : Calculate the carding machine efficiency per shift if sliver breakage
time is 15 min, stoppage time due to can changes is 30 min, cleaning & other
stoppage time is 25 min.
Problem-: Calculate the cleaning efficiency of carding machine if trash in sliver
2.1 Ib. and trash in lap 7.2 Ib.
