The document discusses the process of cotton processing from ginning to yarn formation and weaving into fabric.
[1] Ginning involves separating seeds from cotton fibers using dryers and gin saws. The clean fibers are then compacted into bales. [2] Opening and cleaning machines blend and clean raw cotton fibers by removing dirt and debris. [3] Blowroom, carding, drawing and roving processes further clean and parallelize the fibers to prepare sliver and roving for spinning.

4. Ginning
Ginning is the separation of seed from seed
cotton
Recovery of clean lint. The process requires
a dryer, a gin saw or some other type of
separation devices.
The clean lint is then compacted and tied
with a bale wrap.
It is finally weighed and stored.
5. Opening and Cleaning of Raw Cotton
The object of this process is to blend cotton
so as to obtain uniform raw material,
remove leaf dirt and fresh, open up the
fibres after they have been compressed in
the bale
To deliver a clean uniform product in a
suitable form to the nextstage.
6. Blow room
The blow room machinery performs
function of opening hard pressed
bales of cotton and cleaning the
cotton of impurities
7. Carding
In carding, the lap is attenuated into a
sliver (about 100 draft)
The fibres made parallel for the next
stage.
8. Drawing
Drawing evens the sliver.
It attenuate the sliver to desired count
Doubling reduces mass CV
9. Roving
Roving further attenuates the sliver to
above 7 draft.
It makes the sliver useful to make yarn
10. Spinning
There are two main types of spinning: ring
spinning and open-end or break spinning.
In ring spinning the roving is further
attenuated by roller drafting to the fineness of
the yarn required, usually a draft of about 20
and at the sametime twist is applied to give
the yarn the necessary strength.
Full bobbins may be manually or automatically
doffed.
11. Cone winding
Cone winding facilitates subsequent
processing by rewinding yarn onto a
large package
and removing faults.
16. Warping
To make bigger package to supply
warp yarn
Yarn with uniform tension
17. Sizing
The purpose of sizing to increase
weaving resistance
Resistance against abrasion
18. Drawing in
The drawing-in of the sized warp
threads through the heddles, reeds
and drop-wires of the loom
May be done either manually by a pair
of workers
19. Weaving
Interlace between two sets of yarn
Weaving is the crossing of yarns at
right angles or strips of other
materials to produce a flat, more or
less compact surface.
23. Woven structures
Twill weave
Twill weave, the secondbasic
weave, is characterized by
diagonal lines running at angles
varying between 15属 and 75属. A
twill weave is denoted by using
numbers above and bellow a line
(such as 2/1 twill which may be
interpreted as two up and one
down in the shedding sequence).
24. Woven structure
Satin and Sateen weave
Sateen weave is the third basic
weave, in which the interlacing
points are arranged in a similar
way to twill weaves but without
showing the twill line. The satin
weave is warp face weave and
the sateen is a filling face weave.
