Abstract

In raw materials of dromedary hair, there are two distinct fibre populations: the fine one is of textile relevance and the coarse one is rather worthless and must be as a rule separated prior to spinning and subsequent processing. The paper reports an investigation into the effects of fibre passage sequence throughout the Shirley Analyser on the efficiency, the mean fibre diameter and the mean fibre length of the dehairing dromedary hair. Also, it presents the effect of dehairing dromedary hair process on the yield samples. The results show that the most important effect on percentage yield, mean fibre diameter and mean fibre length is caused by the first passage throughout the Shirley Analyser. Following these experiments, we determined an optimal number of passages which is 4. So, the paper discusses the effect of opening operation for dromedary fleece before dehairing on the percentage yield and efficiency of dehairing.
