A study of fly generation during raising

Abstract

The study of fly generation during manufacturing has attracted the attention of many workers for decades. Among all fibre properties, the fibre length has the greatest effect on the amount of fly generated during the raising operation. Blending with a synthetic fibre type also reduces the fly generation due to an increase in the fibre mean length. Additionally, yarn moisture content, weaving pattern, fabric speed and input tension, and the number of rollers on the machine have a significant effect on the fly generation. Although there is no listed literature for fly prediction techniques, fibre and yarn properties, along with raising parameters, can be used for fibre-fly prediction during raising.
