Calculation of Blow Room:
The section where the supplied compressed bale is turned into a uniform lap of a particular length by opening, cleaning, blending, or mixing is called blow room. It is the starting of the spinning operation where the fiber is opened, cleaned, mixed, micro dust removed, and evened thus passed to carding machine without increasing fiber rupture, fiber neps, broken seed particles, and without removing more good fibers. In this article, I have given the example with the calculation of Blow Room.
Production Calculation of Blow Room
* 1 lb = 16 ounce = 7000 grain = 453.6 gm.
