Optimization of the combing noil percentage for quality single and ply compact spun yarn

No doubt that ring spinning will continue to remain the important yarn manufacturing system for the short staple spinning. Innovation has occurred through the introduction of compact spinning, which offers superior quality and better fiber utilization. With this technology, the problematic spinning triangle has been minimized, resulting in ideal yarn structure which is marked by a low degree of hairiness and higher tenacity. This study focused on the investigation of the effect of changing the fiber properties through controlling noil percentage on the structure parameters of compact single and plies yarns. From the analysis of the results, the optimum combing noil percentage for the production of Quality fine compact yarns at 5% Uster level for single or ply yarns can be achieved.
