In the fall of 2005, the pilot spinning mill at cotton
research institute “CRI”, began making spinning
investigations, researches and developments R and D beside
the experimental spinning mill which conducts the
spinning-test routine. It is possible to orient the textile
industry in Egypt to make proper use of Egyptian ELS cotton
lint for the production of fine yarns and high quality ready
made garments. The cotton samples contained approximately
100 kg of ginned lint, in order to perform both fiber and
spinning tests. Cottons from 5 different ELS varieties and
promising crosses identified as 2 categories, were selected
for this study, the first group represented the extra-long
extra- fine category that is, Giza 45, Giza 87 and new
promising cross G.77 X Pima. The second group represented
the extra long staple category that is, Giza 88 and new
promising cross G. 84(G.74XG.68). The fiber properties were
tested in textile technology center, Trützschler GmbH and
Co. KG, Mönchengladbach, Germany. The results showed that
AFIS and HVI fiber properties can be used for the
prediction of yarn properties successfully. Whilst the
results were quite satisfactory, it was necessary to
ascertain that the results were paralleled elsewhere,
especially industrial scale. These checks, made by spinning
duplicated samples at Pilot spinning mill, cotton research
institute and in Misr Iran spinning and weaving company. The
relative order of yarn characteristics were the same at the
count level.
Key words: Egyptian cotton, fiber and yarn
quality, fine yarn counts. |
