4.
Fibre damage
generation of neps.
3. Carding
The carding is a very important process because unless
the fibres are separated into individuals, they can not be
spun into smooth and uniform yarns neither can they be
blended properly with other fibres.
It contributes a lot to the yarn quality
Functions
Individualization of fibers
parallelization
to remove impurities
Disentangling of neps
to reduce the blend to a web of fibers and
to divide it up into roving's of the required count,
suitable for feeding to the spinning machines.

Higher the cylinder speed, higher the centrifugal force created by the
cylinder, this tries to eject fibre from the cylinder, along with trash.
It is cylinder wire's front angle which overcomes the effect of this force.
Low front angle with too low cylinder speed and with high frictional
force will result in bad quality, because the fibre transfer from cylinder to
doffer will be less. Hence recycling of fibres will take place, which result
in more neps and entanglements.
movement of the fibres towards the tip of the tooth coupled with
centrifugal action demands an acute front angle to hold the fibre in place
during carding.
Lack of stiffness associated with fine and/or long fibres necessitates more
control during the carding process. This control is obtained by selecting
the tooth pitch, which gives the correct ratio of the number of teeth to
the fibre length. Tooth pitch reduction is therefore required for
exceptionally short fibres and those lack stiffness.
Number of points across carding is decided by the rib width. Finer the
fibre, finer the rib width. The trend is to finer rib width for higher
production.
sliver U%
High card sliver U% can be caused by a number of
factors
Worn gear wheels
Neps in carding
Avoid damaged wires
Waxy covering on the wires
Double carding reduce neps by over 50%
