Abstract

Cotton is a natural fiber and is highly variable. Researchers need to evaluate cotton fiber properties to aid in the development of improved varieties and to ensure that changes in agronomic practices do not harm fiber quality or processing propensity. There is a need for fiber quality evaluation beyond laboratory testing which has primarily been designed to assign a value to cotton for trade purposes. The amount of material available to researchers for evaluation is often limited. It is not possible to spin these small samples using conventional processing techniques and machinery. This limitation has led to the development of miniature-scale spinning systems. The objective of this study was to review previously developed miniature processing systems and to introduce an improved system that addresses the weaknesses of previous systems. Commercially available equipment was modified to develop a new miniature spinning system. The newly developed miniature scale processing system was used to convert fiber into quality ring spun yarn. Data were collected to verify the performance of the new system. Depending on the fiber quality, different yarn qualities were produced. The newly developed miniature spinning system processed small cotton samples more efficiently and produced better quality yarn than previous miniature-scale systems.
微型纺纱:一种改良的棉花研究工具
棉花是一种天然纤维,变化很大。研究人员需要评估棉纤维的特性,以帮助开发改良品种,并确保农艺做法的变化不会损害纤维质量或加工倾向。有必要在实验室测试之外对纤维质量进行评估,这种评估主要是为了贸易目的而为棉花确定价值。可供研究人员评估的材料数量通常是有限的。使用传统的加工技术和机械是不可能纺成这些小样品的。这种限制导致了小型纺丝系统的发展。本研究的目的是回顾以前开发的微型处理系统,并介绍一种改进的系统,以解决以前系统的弱点。对市售设备进行了改造,开发了一种新型微型纺丝系统。利用新开发的微型加工系统,将纤维转化为优质环锭纱。收集数据以验证新系统的性能。根据纤维质量的不同,可以生产出不同质量的纱线。新开发的微型纺纱系统比以前的微型纺纱系统更有效地加工小块棉花样品,并生产出质量更好的纱线。
