Abstract

<span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;mso-ansi-language: EN-US" lang="EN-US">The optimum sizing parameters to obtain good strength of sized yarn and efficiency of weaving machines have been determined. <span style="letter-spacing: -.1pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Sizing process has been carried out using <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Ne 50/1, 60/1 and 70/1 cotton yarn and 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 m/min dispatch speed of warp yarn in sizing machine. Sizing solution viscosity is kept as 14, 20, 24 Ns/m². Taguchi L18 mixed experimental design has been used for the analysis of input factors selected. The dispatch speed is found to be the most influential <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">parameter for determining the strength of the sized yarn and the efficiency of the weaving machine speed. <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Optimum yarn strength is found using Ne 70/1 cotton yarn, 40 m / min dispatch speed and 24 Ns/m²sizing solution viscosity. <span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">The optimum weaving machine efficiency is obtained using Ne 60/1 cotton yarn, 70 m / min dispatch speed and 20 Ns/m²sizing solution viscosity.
