Cleaning & blending
The blow room as the first stage in the processing of raw cotton, wool, or other fibres in the textile industry, is responsible for opening, cleaning & blending the fibres to prepare them for further processing several stages.
The cleaning and blending process in the blowroom is crucial to ensure that the fibers are clean and uniform before further processing. Any impurities or inconsistencies in the fibers can negatively impact the quality of the finished product. Therefore, blowroom machines are designed to be efficient and effective in removing impurities and creating a uniform blend of fibers.
The fibres are fed into a machine called an opener, which uses spiked rollers to open the compressed fibres and remove any dirt, dust, or impurities. afterwards the opened fibres are passed through a machine called a cleaner, which uses a combination of air currents and screens to remove any remaining impurities. Then, the cleaned fibres will be blended to create a uniform mixture using air currents and mechanical processes. The blended fibers will be fed into a carding machine, which further opens and aligns the fibers to create a web which is known as a carded sliver.
