EFFECT OF CONDITIONING ON PROCESSING AND PROPERTIES OF JUTE FIBRE AND YARN (Pages : 17 - 22)
M. MANIRUZZAMAN, A.K.M. MAHABUBUZZAMAN, M.O.G. MIAZI AND AKM M. ALAMA few number of trial batch were conducted and yarn were produced from different piling time for different grade jute fibre. For each single trial about 50 to 55 lbs of BTC, BTD, BWC and BWD grade jute fibre was taken out from pucca bales. Accurate morahs were prepared and these morahs were passed through the softener machine with simultaneous application of emulsion of requisite percent and were kept in piles for different conditioning time (0 hour, 24 hours and 48 hours). Through this process, the fibres were mechanically as well as chemically/ bio-chemically softened for making the fibres of more pliable and suitable for easy processing in the machine and transforming into yarn. Test result of bundle strength showed better in no piling condition and this strength slowly decreased with the increase of piling time. For breaker and finisher carding machine, wastage% slowly increased with the increase of piling time. The most important parameter quality ratio increased for no piling and slowly decreased with the increase of conditioning time. Over all processing, quality parameter of jute fibre for no piling is better but this process is slightly harmful for all the processing machinery. For this reason, conditioning time 24 hours is more suitable for these grades of jute fibre. Download
