Abstract

The aim of this work is evaluation of Egyptian cottons cleanability by blow room. Where eleven Egyptian cotton varieties were processed through the blow room line. Cotton samples from bale and from output of successive opening and cleaning machines were tested using Advanced Fibre Information System (AFIS) for thrash content. Trash content and as cunt/g are considered. Blow room cleaning efficiency of the different cottons is calculated and the different cotton varieties are classified to three groups: low, medium and high resistance lo cleaning. For the three groups of different cleaning resistance trash particle size distribution for the different cotton samples is analyzed as two distributions. The first is dust size distribution ( size-500 μ m) and the second is SCI size distribution (size >500 u m). Effect of successive opening and cleaning machines on the two distributions is discussed. The results showed that Blow room cleaning efficiency of the investigated cottons ranged from 39% to 84% and cotton cleanability is an effective factor amongst the factors affecting blow room cleaning efficiency. Data showed that successive blow room machines have an effect on particle size distribution.
