Rayon is a regenerated cellulosic fiber made from wood pulp. It has serrated round shape with smooth surface. Loses 30-50% strength when wet. Produced from 95-99% cellulose in wood pulp
Blowroom prepares fibers for spinning by opening, cleaning and blending. Rieter and Trutzschler are leading blowroom manufacturers worldwide. Blowroom lines can process up to 160 bales in 46m layout
Textile engineering combines engineering, science, and technology for textile production. Field covers fiber production to product development and sustainability. Engineers create high-quality, functional textiles for various applications
Cotton is 99% cellulose after scouring and bleaching. Cellulose is a polymer made of glucose molecules linked by glycoside bonds. Cotton cellulose differs from wood cellulose with higher polymerization and crystallinity. Cellulose chains are held together by hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups
Yarn is a continuous strand of fibers suitable for weaving or knitting. Filament yarns are smoother, lustrous, and uniform, while spun yarns are softer and more absorbent. Staple fibers are natural or synthetic fibers shorter than 10 inches
Roving machine draws and twists fiber strips for spinning frame processing. Traditional spinning required roving process between jointing and fine yarn. Modern spinning technologies have eliminated roving process
