Jute Carding process

 Jute Carding process:

Carding is a combination of operation and it is carried out  to convert  the long  and  meshy jutes  into  spin  able fiber of desired linear density known as silvers. Carding is usually carried  out in 2 or  3 stages.  After 2 or 3days meshy  structure  of  jute  is  passed  through  a  sense  of carding  machines,  which are  arranged  in  an  increasing order  of  fineness.  There  are  three  different  carding sections: 1) Breaker Carding 2) Inner carding  3) Finisher carding Breaker  card is  the  machine  used to  break down the meshy structure  into individual long entities  of filament as  far  as  possible  and  also  remove  dust  and  other impurities.  Breaker  carding  machine  soften  jute  after piling is feed by hand in suitable weight. The machine by action with different rollers turns out raw jute in the form of  jute  sliver  for  finisher  carding. In  this  process  root cutting  is  necessary  before  feeding  the  material  to  the hand feed breaker carding machine. The product is now finer, softer and cleaner  in appearance. It  is then passed through  the  inner and  finisher  card  is  only moderately uniform,  while  the  fiber  of  which  it  is  composed  of somewhat mixed  up, far from being  straight or parallel. Finisher carding  machine make the sliver  more uniform and  regular  in  length  and  weight  obtained  from  the Breaker  carding  machine.  Finisher  carding  machine  is identical  to  the Breaker  carding  machine,  having  more pair of rollers, staves, pinning arrangement and speed.
