Abstract/Description: | Cotton lint samples used for fibre quality evaluation must be clean and free from any non-lint content to ensure accurate measurement of quality parameters otherwise there is every possibility of variations in the readings from the actual values. Presently, testing laboratories resort to opening cotton lint samples either manually by hand or by using trash analyser. The extent of lint opening in both these methods is not uniform and optimum and also the speed is too slow to match the handling capacity of the High Volume Instrument (HVI). Therefore, an attempt was made to design and develop a new mechanical device for opening of cotton lint samples used in fibre quality evaluation. The machine consists of feeder roller, licker-in cylinder and suction assemblies mounted on a frame provided with adequate safety covers. It works on the carding principle where licker-in wires having sharp profile open up lint fibres by scrubbing action. Preliminary test trials of the lint opener have yielded satisfactory performance in terms of the handling capacity (40-50 samples/h) and the specific volume after opening (90-100 cc/g), which was found to be nearly double that of the unopened samples (40-60 cc/g). |
