Abstract

The akund fiber has great potential to be used in the textile industry benefiting from its excellent properties. The adoption of akund fiber from calotropis gigantea could substitute or supplement cotton as raw materials for textile fabric and might reduce the possible damage to the environment. Therefore, The study in this paper on the relationship between carding procedure and the quality of akund fiber sliver aimed at optimizing the process of this new kind fiber on a flat top card has significant meaning. The results in this paper show that high quality slivers can be produced by using new wires, low speed of card elements or proper akund fiber content in blended yarn. However, decreasing the number of moving flats in the main carding zone too much would deteriorate the sliver quality.
