Learning outcomes
Within the subject individual spinning processes (opening, cleaning, mixing, elimination of short fibers, drawing, twisting, winding, ensuring mass evenness) are analyzed both in the theoretical and practical level. Attention is also focused on individual spinning systems (carding, combing, roving forming, spinning and plying) used in yarn spinning technology. The theory of formation of converter top is mentioned. Students are also deeply acquainted with the laws of transformation of mass unevenness.
The student has an overview of basic spinning processes and systems. He has knowledge of a theoretical basis relating individual spinning processes.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of mathematics and mechanics. Overview of fiber raw materials.
