Abstract

Contamination on cotton fibers
is one of the most important problems that shows itself on yarn and fabric.
Contamination usually consists of plant leafs, parts, etc. on the cotton and
this situation occurs during the harvesting and transporting. Also
contamination occurs by bale pieces such as burlap, nylon and polypropylene
residues. Developed technologies are using for selection of the foreign
material in blowroom and bobbin processes, but it is not possible to completely
remove the foreign material from the yarn. In general, the amount of foreign
material in the local cotton is more than the US cotton.  In this study, yarn production is made in the
same specifications with local and US cotton, then yarn foreign material
cuttings on bobbin machine and yarn quality values are compared. According to
the results, it is seen that yarns produced by US cotton have less
contamination than the yarns produced by local cotton. With this situation it
is determined that, despite less contamination, yarn technical values of US
cotton is worse than local cotton.
