Quality Control:

Proper quality of products can be maintained by checking the material at the different stages a take proper action or decision. For yarn manufacturing process, yarn quality control and testing can be classified in to three ways. They are as follows-

1. Fiber Testing Equipment
2. Lap, Sliver and Roving Testing Equipment
3. Yarn Testing Equipment

Quality Control Equipment for Yarn Manufacturing :

To check the material quality, the following equipment are required in Quality Control department of a modern yarn manufacturing mill or spinning mill-

Different Types of Quality Control Equipment

1. Fiber Testing Equipment:

• HVE-for fineness, color, trash, strength and length measurement.
• AFIS-for neps, seed coat neps, size of neps, fiber length, short fiber content, dia/fineness, immature fiber content, no. and size of trash, no. and size of dust.
• Shirley analyzer-for trash content measurement.
• Nep counter-for fiber length, neps, sort fbre% measurement.
• Fiber bundle strength tester(Pressley/Stelometer)-for strength testing.
• Moisture regain tester-for M.R.% testing.
• Rapid conditioning unit.
• Sugar of strictness tester-for testing honey dew.

2. Lap, Sliver and Roving Testing Equipment:

• Lap length counter.
• Balance ,scale, warp block- for testing sliver and roving hank.
• Nep counting board.
• Auto sorter-for sliver count testing.
• Evenness tester-for testing lap and sliver irregularity.

3. Yarn Testing Equipment:

Yarn Package
