A NEW METHOD FOR PROCESSING OF RAW SILK

Abstract

This article provides information on the presented vacuum steaming method in place of the emulsifying method which is used to rewind raw silk. This method, envisages the use of a modern vacuum steaming machine of the SC-750 series, as well as a rational processing mode depending on the degree of hardening of the raw silk. To prepare raw silk for twisting, a new, shorter technology for softening of glued parts of the material is being proposed. Owing to the new method (c), after removing tension from the raw silk, the relative strength of the entire assortment has improved by 6-7%, and breaks during the rewinding process have reduced by almost 25%. The processing time has reduced by 6 times compared to the wetting method, 12 times compared to the sprinkling method, technological processes have reduced to 4 and 2 runs, respectively.
