| Abstract: | A method has been evolved for quantitative analysis of various types of trash in cottons and in blow room and card wastes. The method involves division of the total trash into ten different categories. Analysis of several Indian cottons has shown that seed coats (fuzzy seed fragments adhering tenaciously to fibre clusters) form the largest single constituent of trash. The proportion of seed coats varies from 45 to 75%, depending upon the variety of cotton. The blow room machines have been found to be less effective in removing seed coats than the other types of trash like seeds, leafy matter, soil, dust, etc. The cleaning efficiency of the blow room is, therefore, related to the proportion of seed coats in cotton. The trash portion of flat waste in card contains about 85% seed coats, the waste at licker-in being similar to that in other blow room machines. However, the lint to trash ratio in flat waste is much higher than at the licker-in, with the result that the proportion of seed coats removed at flats is only marginally higher than that removed at the licker-in. |
