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-
- Fiber Testing Equipment
- Lap, Sliver and Roving Testing Equipment
- 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
