The book outlines the concepts of raw material selection, control of various process parameters in the preparatory processes like blow room, carding, combing preparatory and comber to optimize the process conditions, and analysis and interpretation of various types of test reports to find out the source of fault.

Yarn winding is the final stage of the yarn forming process and the starting point for various subsequent processes, from weaving or knitting to textile finishing. Yarns manufactured and packaged from ring spinning are not in the optimum condition to be used to form fabrics. Package size, build and other factors make it necessary for the yarn to be further processed to prepare it to be handled efficiently during fabric formation. Yarn winding can be viewed as a packaging process, forming a link between the last few elements of yarn manufacturing and the first element of fabric manufacturing process. This interface function of winding is what makes the winding process so important.

Ring spinning is an age-old technology used in the process of fibres to yarn conversion. Its versatility in dealing with a wide range of materials in terms of type, properties and even as an individual or blend is unbeaten. This book provides a platform for critically evaluating various engineering and technical changes undergone in this legendary process and the scientific approach lying behind these changes.

Complex raw materials and manufacturing processes mean the textile industry is particularly dependent on good process control to produce high and consistent product quality. Monitoring and controlling process variables during the textile manufacturing process also minimises waste, costs and environmental impact. Process control in textile manufacturing provides an important overview of the fundamentals and applications of process control methods.Part one introduces key issues associated with process control and principles of control systems in textile manufacturing. Testing and statistical quality control are also discussed before part two goes on to consider control in fibre production and yarn manufacture. Chapters review process and quality control in natural and synthetic textile fibre cultivation, blowroom, carding, drawing and combing. Process control in ring and rotor spinning and maintenance of yarn spinning machines are also discussed. Finally part three explores process control in the manufacture of knitted, woven, nonwoven textiles and colouration and finishing, with a final discussion of process control in apparel manufacturing.With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, Process control in textile manufacturing is an essential guide for textile engineers and manufacturers involved in the processing of textiles, as well as academic researchers in this field. Provides an important overview of the fundamentals and applications of process control methods Discusses key issues associated with process control and principles of control systems in textile manufacturing, before addressing testing and statistical quality control Explores process control in the manufacture of knitted, woven, nonwoven textiles and colouration and finishing, with a discussion on process control in apparel manufacturing

Spinning is the process of producing continuous twisted strands (yarn) of a desired size from fibrous materials. Spinning can be categorized based on staple length as long staple spinning and short staple spinning. Short staple spinning machines process fibres such as cotton, polyester, viscose and its blends thereof. The yarn formation is usually accomplished by any one of the spinning systems. Spinning systems presently employed include ring, rotor, self-twist, friction, air-jet, twistless and wrap-spinning, with the first mentioned two systems by far the most important for cotton spinning, together accounting for far over 90% of the cotton yarn produced globally. The ring spinning invented by John Thorpe in 1830 has been very successful in producing yarns from staple fibres. Since its inception, ring spinning had remained unchallenged for almost 150 years. Ring-spinning accounts for some 75% of global long and short staple yarn production. The main reason attributed for the success of ring-spinning over other spinning systems is the superior quality, notably strength and evenness, of ring-spun yarns over those produced by other systems.
